“For nearly a year our team has been preparing for today, the moment when we can finally reveal the filmmakers who, in a few short weeks, we’ll present at the 2025 edition of the Sundance Film Festival,” Sundance Film Festival and Public Programming Director Eugene Hernandez said.
These new voices and filmmakers include Hailey Gates, Evan Twohy, Andre Ricciardi, Isabel Castro and several others.
“Our curation speaks to the breadth and depth of filmmaking today, and the work of the artists selected showcases the potential for storytelling to drive change through open dialogue while engaging audience,” Sundance Institute Acting CEO Amanda Kelso said.
Sundance Institute stated in a release that this lineup gears up to 41% of feature film directors who are first-time filmmakers. World premieres constitute 96% of the film and episodic slate.
“Audiences at the festival can not only look forward to engaging with the unexpected, but also to be entertained, challenged and deeply moved by this year’s films,” Sundance Film Festival Director of Programming Kim Yutani said.
