Sundance 2024: The full list of winners
With Utah’s famed Sundance Film Festival set to conclude on Sunday, January 28th, the winners of the event have been revealed, with the indie feature In the Summers scoring big.
The festival saw 16 filmmakers and artists judge an array of independent content. This year was the 40th edition of the historic celebration of independent art. As the festival explains: “Our annual program includes dramatic and documentary features, short films, and episodic content.”
In the Summers won the Grand Jury Prize for the top dramatic feature. The Alessandra Lacorazza-directed picture sees a pair of sisters navigate a series of summer trips to their loving yet volatile father’s home in rural New Mexico.
Elsewhere, Jesse Eisenberg also saw the screenwriting side of his talent honoured as the Social Network star swept up the prize for ‘Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award’ thanks to his work for A Real Pain.
