The 2018 Sundance Film Festival begins tonight, Thursday, January 18, and runs through Sunday, January 28. w(n)td will be on hiatus for the duration while I’m busy with my responsibilities as a Programming Associate for the festival. Aside from a post the morning of January 23 when the Oscar nominations are announced, regular daily weekday posting will not resume until Monday, January 29.
To catch up with Sundance doc programming, here are links to my series of 2018 Sundance documentary profiles, divided by festival section:
