All of the Winners of the 2016 Sundance Film Festival
This year’s Sundance Film Festival capped off this evening with the fest’s annual awards show, held at Park City, Utah’s own Basin Recreation Field House. The ceremony kicked off at 7:00PM MT, featuring host (and Sundance premiere “Hunt for the Wilderpeople” director) Taika Waititi shepherding along the festivities mostly amusing (and endearingly self-relective) fashion.
Featuring awards judged by six different juries, the ceremony is always a lively, fun and forward-thinking end to the festival. Big winners included World features like “Sonita” and “Between Land and Sea,” along with U.S. offerings like “Morris From America” and “The Birth of a Nation.”
