| Sundance
Film Festival 2004
True to its roots, the 2004 Sundance Film Festival was defined by the
same sense of risk and discovery that has always distinguished independent
filmmaking. The selection of Shane Carruth’s Primer
– a film made in a Texas garage for $7,000 – as the Grand
Jury Prize winner signified the Festival’s lasting celebration
of the most independently made films. Films in all categories from Premiere
to Frontier were well attended, showing that the Festival’s strength
continues to be the diversity of its programming slate.
