Immigrant Themes Presented at Sundance 2006 Posted Feb 17, 2006 ©MurthyDotCom The 2006 Sundance Film Festival recently concluded in Park City, Utah. Among the dominant themes presented this year was that of immigration, underscoring the importance of this issue regardless of one's political or social stand. Identified below are six films on this topic, evenly divided between dramas and documentaries. It is very possible that there are others, and we apologize in advance for omissions. ©MurthyDotCom In Between Days, a drama directed by So Yong Kim. ©MurthyDotCom God Grew Tired of Us, winner of the jury prize and audience award for U.S. documentaries, directed by Christopher Quinn. ©MurthyDotCom La Tragedia de Macario, a drama written, directed, and edited by Pablo Véliz, with a theatrical release targeted for early June 2006 in select cities, and an expanded release soon after. ©MurthyDotCom Quinceañera, jury prize and audience award winner in the U.S. drama category, written and directed by Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer. ©MurthyDotCom DeNADIE presented in the world documentary category by first-time filmmaker, Tin Dirdamal. ©MurthyDotCom Crossing Arizona, a documentary directed by Joseph Mathew. ©MurthyDotCom Brief descriptions of these movies and more than 60 others about immigration, the affects of immigration, or the experiences of immigrants can be found on our films page.
