The 2024 Sundance Film Festival is almost at an end, but there are still films to screen in the online portion of the festival and, almost as importantly, awards to hand out to happy independent filmmakers. The big winners at this year’s awards ceremony were Alessandra Lacorazza’s “In the Summers” which won the Grand Jury Prize U.S. Dramatic and the Directing Award in that category; Sean Wang’s “Didi,” and Angela Patton and Natalie Rae’s “Daughters.” “Didi” took the Audience Awards in the U.S. Dramatic category and a special Jury Award for Best Ensemble while “Daughters” won the U.S. Documentary Audience Award as well as the relatively new, overall Festival Favorite Award.
Noteably, Jesse Eisenberg won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award for “A Real Pain” while Nico Parker won a Special Grand Jury Award for Breakthrough Performance for “Suncoast.”
Brendan Bellomo and Slava LeontyevIn’s Ukraine-set “Porcelain War” won the U.S. Documentary Category. In the World Cinema Dramatic Category, Astrid Rondero and Fernanda Valadez’s “Sujo” took the Grand Jury Prize. Shuchi Talati’s “Girls Girls Girls” took the Audience Award in the World Cinema category.
The Audience Award for NEXT went to Rich Peppiatt’s “Kneecap.” The NEXT Innovator Award went (shockingly) to Jack Begert’s “Little Death” and the Jury Prize went to Jules Rosskam’s “Desire Lines.”
