The 2013 Sundance Film Festival ushers in a new crop of filmmaking talent in less than a month. As a preamble to the festival, beginning this Wednesday and continuing daily until the start of the festival on Thursday, January 17, I’m planning to profile each of the more than forty feature length documentaries in this year’s line-up.
I’ll be using the same format I’ve employed the last couple of years (last year’s began here), providing some background on the film and filmmakers and reasons why I’m excited for audiences to see these amazing projects. These profiles are not reviews – as a Documentary Programming Associate for the festival, I hope readers get a chance to see all of the 2013 Sundance films, and especially the non-fiction on offer – whether in Park City or hopefully at other festivals, or wherever else they might go on to screen.
The series kick off on Wednesday with profiles of three films in the US Documentary Competition, and will cover each section of the festival that features docs one-by-one as we countdown to Sundance 2013.
