"Woah. indieWIRE is reporting that Geoff Gilmore, a key player at the Sundance Film Festival for almost two full decades, is leaving that festival to take a job as Chief Creative Officer at Tribeca Enterprises, the New York organization that, amongst other things, is responsible for mounting the Tribeca Film Festival. It seems too soon to assess What It All Means, but obviously, beyond each Festival’s assorted trials and tribulations, Sundance and Tribeca have had very different identities. Sundance is primarily associated with a certain type of actor-driven independent drama; Tribeca, in its brief history, has been most successful at unearthing international gems. Of course, this is not the first sign that Tribeca has an interest in moving in more of a Sundance direction. In late 2007, Tribeca announced plans to streamline in the hopes of becoming more significant as an indie film market. At the time, Nancy Schafer lamented, “we haven’t had our Sex, Lies & Videotape yet. That’s wha ... " [More]

10 Worst Sundance Sensations

"Getting ready for the Sundance Film Festival can be very exciting. As we await the event’s Thursday opening, we can’t stop wondering what will be the next big thing. Will this year’s hit be the highly-anticipated Michael Cera project Paper Hearts, or will it be something that we as of yet know nothing about? It’s easy to forget, however, that oftentimes the next big thing is also the next lamest thing. Sundance sensations, those films that are much-buzzed-about, that sell for a lot of money, that go on to be marketed like crazy and ultimately receive Oscar recognition, tend to lend themselves most easily to backlashes. Usually such derision is deserved, as in the case of the following ten films, each of which made a big splash at Sundance despite being bad. 10. Brick (Ria " [More]

"One of the reasons I decided to review Sundance trailers throughout the festival was to hopefully draw attention to some deserving films that I’d want to see if I was in Park City this week. Unfortunately, it has so far been difficult to find appealing-looking movie trailers — or maybe it’s just actually difficult to find appealing-looking movies this year (could that be the reason for the lack of deals?). And so, I present you today with a trailer for a movie that looks far from appealing. Maybe instead of pointing to a movie for you to see, this can serve to point to a movie for you to avoid. I guess every year Sundance needs some kind of uncomfortable movie dealing with sex. After all, it was sex, lies and videotape that helped put the festival on the map. But boy is that film’s subject matter tame compared to some of the selections of late. When I was at the festival in 2005, I watched all but maybe two people walk out of Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs, a film that features act ... " [More]

Tribeca Looking To Sundance-ize

"The most welcome film festival news of the week comes from The Hollywood Reporter, by way of The Reeler. In a bid to increase their profile as an independent film marketplace, the Tribeca Film Festival will cut the size of their feature slate by as much as 25 percent. A program of 120 films would put Tribeca in the same league, size-wise, as Sundance, which is clearly the intention: “We realize our audience is getting a little overwhelmed by all of our titles,” said Tribeca co-exec director Nancy Schafer. Last year, nearly 30 titles were acquired out of Tribeca, but many were bought by smaller distributors; with the new focus, the festival hopes to bring in bigger buyers and yield more high-profile deals. “We’ve had a lot of movies bought out of the festival but we haven’t had our Sex, Lies & Videotape yet,” Schafer said. “That’s what we want, and that’s what the industry wants.” Steven Soderbergh’s 1989 film, of course, helped to cement Sundance’s status as the highest profile fes ...
