Sundance 2018

As part of the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Golden Globe Awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) will continue to host special events, this time at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. The HFPA will host a special “Women Breaking Barriers” panel featuring accomplished women from various fields in the film industry, moderated by HFPA member Elisabeth Sereda.

A trusted bellwether of the year in independent cinema, the 2018 Sundance Film Festival starts today, with a strong and diverse line-up – 38% from female directors, 32 % non-white- ready to repeat last year’s stellar performance, which yielded award-worthy titles such as Call Me By Your Name, Get Out and Mudbound, plus a roster of critically acclaimed films – The Big Sick, Patti Cake$, A Ghost Story and the documentaries An Inconvenient Documentary, Chasing Coral and Last Men in Aleppo. The 2018 vintage includes several titles already attracting attention from distributors – a direct result of the fierce competition between traditional channels like HBO and the new streaming, ever-expanding streaming platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu.
