Eugene Hernandez: Talking the Evolution of Sundance Locarno Meets

    • 映画インタビュー

This week on #LocarnoMeets, we're joined by Eugene Hernandez, director of the Sundance Institute, as he reflects on his decades-long relationship with the famous festival in Park City, Utah, beginning with his first visit in 1993. He underscores Sundance's roots as a supporter of independent storytelling, dating back to its founding principles established by Robert Redford, and highlights the Institute's commitment to championing trailblazing artists in the face of industry challenges.
Looking to the future, Eugene envisions Sundance going deeper rather than bigger, focusing on direct support for filmmakers and adapting to shifting industry dynamics. He discusses the festival's efforts to engage diverse audiences through varied and innovative strands and programs in Utah and at virtual festivals, as well as its material support of art house theatres and the Art House Convergence Network, which reinforces the Institute's role as a bridge between independent filmmakers and audiences.
