As our world and realities are in constant flux, Sundance Film Festival continues to platform women filmmakers and artists, bringing their perspective to a wider audience. If, to quote Roger Ebert, “Movies are like a machine that generates empathy,” these narratives are now running at high voltage. Join WIF for a powerful conversation on how the stories women tell could pave the way toward a future where care and compassion are the norm.
Partner events are independently conceived and produced by sponsor and partner organizations. These events take place in official Festival locations and all organizations follow the Sundance Film Festival community agreement.
