Experience Sundance Film Festival
Sundance Film Festival 2007
“I have felt, from the earliest days, that if people really care about independent film, they should pay particular attention to short filmmakers, who are the best indicators of what is coming down the creative pike,” said Robert Redford, president and founder of Sundance Institute and founder of Sundance Channel.

And now, at the iTunes Store, you can preview what’s coming down the creative pike by downloading some of the short films featured at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Drawn from the 71 Sundance Film Festival short films, representing 19 countries and 4445 submissions from American and international filmmakers, this collection features innovative drama, documentary and animation short films.

Also available at the iTunes Store, the free Sundance Film Festival Podcast series takes you behind the scenes of the film festival including engaging panels with filmmakers, journalists and industry representatives direct from Prospector Square and live performances straight from the Music CafÈ in Park City.
