Sundance 2022: All the winners, deals and films you need to know about
CNN
The Sundance Film Festival went online once more. It worked out just fine.
After a last-minute change of plans brought on by soaring Covid-19 cases, Sundance made the decision to shutter its physical event in the mountains of Utah and make for the online hills. The infrastructure was already in place from last year and 2022 was supposed to be a hybrid event in any case, with some journalists and viewers logging in from afar.
The answer to that initial question, it seems, is yes. The online pivot has resulted in a growth in Sundance's reach and money followed. Apple TV+ paid a reported $15 million for Cooper Raiff's coming of age comedy "Cha Cha Real Smooth," while Sony Picture Classics bought Oliver Hermanus' "Living" (a remake of Akira Kurosawa's "Ikiru") for around $5 million and Searchlight spent $7.5 million on the Emma Thompson-fronted sex-positive chamber piece "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande." On the documentary side, National Geographic cleaned up, buying "The Territory," a profile of indigenous conservationists in the Brazilian Amazon, along with festival smash-hit "Fire of Love," about married volcanologists, while Netflix swooped in on "Descendant," Margaret Brown's moving account of the search for the last slave ship to reach US shores by the descendants of those who were on board.
