The snow from this year’s Sundance Film Festival has mostly melted off of Hollywood’s Dior boots, and as the Utah event draws to a close its time to crown a new class of indie filmmaking stars.
Multiple pedigreed juries will hand out prizes to movies in competition on Friday at Park City’s The Ray Theater — where buzzy titles will duke it out for honors including directing, acting, screenwriting and the most coveted honors, the audience award and the grand jury prize.
“Storytelling is important, part of human continuity,” Sundance interim CEO Amanda Kelso said at the top of the ceremony, quoting its founder Robert Redford.
This year’s U.S. dramatic jury consists Reinaldo Marcus Green, Arian Moayed (“Succession”) and Celine Song. Steven Bognar, Vinnie Malhotra, and Marcia Smith are presiding over the domestic documentary section. Actor Elijah Wood is the sole juror for the Next section, spotlighting emerging filmmakers.
