Fresh from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, known for celebrating groundbreaking new voices in independent filmmaking, selected screenings and special guests come to the Walker Cinema over two weekends in May. Each film in the program—whether featuring first-time directors and non-actors or seasoned casts and crews—uniquely plays with elements of the dramatic genre, offering new approaches to this fluidly evolving medium.

A presenter at the Independent Filmmaker Project Minnesota Conference, Sundance Film Festival Director John Cooper introduces screenings at the Walker on May 2 and 3.
