Click on the image above to view the trailer for EVE AND THE FIREHORSE. The link on the text will take you to their website. This was one of my favorite films of Sundance 2006 (even though their publicist dissed me and didn’t return my phone call requesting more info after a chance meeting on the street with one of the producers … a very supportive and enthusiastic Shan Tam) … anyway, back to the film. The film is a wonderful look at the world through the eyes of a child — the clash of cultures, the melding of religions, and the magical thinking and the belief that one can change anything. Look at the clip to see the powerful cinematography, compelling performances and original vision. You’ll want to see this film!
The Documentary Grand Jury Prize AND Dramatic Audience Award was given to GOD GREW TIRED OF US, directed by Christopher Quinn. In the late 1980’s, 27,000 Sudanese lost boys marched barefoot over thousands of miles of barren desert, seeking safe haven from the brutal civil war in their homeland. The film chronicles the experiences of three of these boys who seek refuge in the U.S. as they work to adjust to a strange new world.
The Dramatic Grand Jury Prize AND Audience Dramatic Award was presented to QUINCEANERA, written and directed by Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer. Disaffected Latino teenagers come of age in a gentrifying community in the Echo Park district of Los Angeles. Westmoreland and Glatzer have molded their mostly unknown ensemble into a tender portrait of a changing world and in doing so, have illuminated modern realities of family and hope.
The Documentary World Cinema Jury Prize was given to IN THE PIT (Mexico), written and directed by Juan Carlos Rulfo. According to Mexican legend, whenever a bridge is built the devil asks for one soul, in exchange for keeping the bridge standing. This film chronicles the daily lives of the workers building a second deck to Mexico City’s Periferico freeway — their hopes, dreams and struggle for survival. We have the Q&A from the Friday evening screening of IN THE PIT which will be posted within the next couple of days.
The Dramatic World Cinema Jury Prize was presented to 13 TZAMETI (France), written and directed by Géla Babluani. When the protagonist decides to follow instructions intended for someone else, he finds himself at the brink of human decency, a place whose only inhabitants are the underbelly of society.
The Documentary World Cinema Audience Award was presented to DE NADIE (Mexico), directed by Tin Dirdamal. Maria, a Central American immigrant who is forced to leave her family in search of a better life embarks on the dangerous 1300-mile journey through Mexico to the U.S. Without taking a political stance, the film provides a deeper understanding of the United States’ border crisis and intolerance in Mexican society.
The Dramatic World Cinema Audience Award was presented to NO. 2 (New Zealand), written and directed by Toa Fraser. Nanna Maria’s family has forgotten how to party. She’s going to change all that, and make them come alive with the heat and passion of the South Pacific.
The Documentary Directing Award went to James Longley, director of IRAQ IN FRAGMENTS. The Dramatic Directing Award was presented to Dito Montiel for A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS.
The Excellence in Cinematography Award honors exceptional photography in both a dramatic and documentary film in the Independent Film Competition. James Longley for IRAQ IN FRAGMENTS from the Documentary Competition and Tom Richmond for RIGHT AT YOUR DOOR from the Dramatic Competition received the 2006 Cinematography Awards.
New to the Sundance Film Festival this year is an award recognizing excellence in Documentary Film Editing. Films in the Documentary Competition are eligible for this award. The 2006 prize was given to Billy McMillin, Fiona Otway and James Longley, editors of IRAQ IN FRAGMENTS.
The Dramatic Jury presents the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award for outstanding achievement in writing. The 2006 prize was given to Hilary Brougher for STEPHANIE DALEY.
The Documentary Jury bestowed a Special Jury Prize for AMERICAN BLACKOUT, directed by Ian Inaba and TV JUNKIE, directed by Michael Cain and Matt Radecki.
The Dramatic Jury presented Special Jury Prizes for Best Ensemble Performance for A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS, directed by Dito Montiel and starring Robert Downey, Jr., Shia La Boeuf, Rosario Dawson, Chazz Palminteri, Dianne Wiest and Channing Tatum. The Dramatic Jury also awarded Special Jury Prizes for Independent Vision to IN BETWEEN DAYS.
The World Cinema Documentary Jury presented Special Jury Prizes to INTO GREAT SILENCE, written and directed by Philip Groening and DEAR PYONGYANG, written and directed by Yonghi Yang.
The World Cinema Dramatic Jury presented a Special Jury Prize to EVE & THE FIRE HORSE, written and directed by Julia Kwan. I saw this film TWICE! I loved this film and would highly recommend it. The cinematography is great. The story is wonderful. The performances are stunning. RUN to the theater to see it!
The Shorts Jury presented the Jury Prize in Short Filmmaking in a tie to BUGCRUSH, directed by Carter Smith and to THE WRAITH OF COBBLE HILL, directed by Adam Parrish King. The Jury Prize in International Short Filmmaking was given to THE NATURAL ROUTE (Spain), directed by Alex Pastor. The Shorts Jury awarded Honorable Mentions in Short Filmmaking to BEFORE DAWN (Hungary), directed by Bálint Kenyeres; PREACHER WITH AN UNKNOWN GOD, directed by Rob VanAlkemade; and UNDRESSING MY MOTHER (Ireland), directed by Ken Wardrop.
BY ALEC HART. PARK CITY, UTAH USA (CINEMA MINIMA) — Last night, we went to the Holiday Village for the screening of the documentary IN THE PIT. Directed by Juan Carlos Rulfo, the film was about the workers building a freeway in Mexico City. The film was “the bomb” because they didn’t get all preachy about how hard their lives were or how dangerous it was. It just tried to capture moments in the guys lives. There was a short guy who was always happy, even when it was raining on him. Another guy was always talking crap at the rest of the other workers but then you found out he’d lost everything and went from a wallet full of money to making $5 a day. All of the guys had nicknames. They called one guy “Shrek” because he was a big guy. The way they made the film, you understood what it was like to be a worker in Mexico City and how corrupt things are there.
The composer, Leo Heiblum, was at the Q&A and he said that the entire soundtrack was made from the sounds of the work site and work area. The composer had always wanted to make a soundtrack using only natural sounds. Director Rulfo did not know this when he went to the composer and told him he wanted a soundtrack using natural sound only. For the beats, they used the large and small jackhammers. It was good because you could feel the rhythm of the city and the rhythm of their lives.
Director Rulfo had this to say about making documentary films in his country, “In Mexico it is not easy to get money for documentary films. Everybody tells you if you are doing a film or a movie, and finally they ask you”hey men when are you going to make a film, a real film.” At that moment I don’t know what to say. I believe documentary film-making is the best thing. And I say that because I didn’t start to make a narrative fiction film, but it doesn’t matter. I believe this is the way to make movies because I’ve learned to do it this way. Filmmaking is the combination of all the opportunities you can find to change the world into a cinematic phenomena; it doesn’t matter if it is dock or fiction. This genre has given me the chance to experiment, because nothing is planned and scenes aren’t set up. A direct, spontaneous relationship is established, which really puts your creativity to the test. Life’s characters are much more powerful than any I could ever create myself.”
I recorded the Q&A for IN THE PIT following the screening. You can download it and listen to it to hear more about the film. This was one of my favorite films of the festival.

Lindsey Black interviews actor Adam Scarimbolo about his Sundance 2006 film, A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS, acting, Park City, and the festival.
GUEST BLOGGER: LINDSEY BLACK reviewed two of the films she saw. She says, “FRIENDS WITH MONEY … This Movie Will Make Money!! I was lucky to have Friends with Money as my first screening at Sundance. This was a great start to my festival experience. I thought the story was well done and the actors were great for their characters! Jennifer Aniston is as beautiful in person as she is on screen. Her personality is adorable! Not to mention, during the Q & S’s, she was sitting next to another adorable favorite of mine, Joan Cusack. Their personalities shine off screen as well as on screen. Nicole Holofcener, the director of the film, was very energetic and intriguing to listen to. The film is even better knowing how much fun she had with the cast and to see her passion for her film. I was excited to hear them announce that the release date of this film is April 17th, 2006. I recommend this romantic comedy!
A GUIDE TO RECOGNIZING YOUR SAINTS was my second film to attend at the festival. Since our (Gina and I) last movie got out late, we said forget waiting for the shuttle and took off running to the next venue. We anxiously waited outside the building with about 40 other film goers and to our disappointment, the volunteers that ran that venue came out to tell us they ran out of room. Everyone was in an uproar! About a half hour later, they came with vouchers; we refused them because we didn’t want to chance standing in line and not being able to see this movie we really wanted to see. Then they came up with a conclusion to stamp the vouchers that would make it good for the noon showing the next day. It was good for us…bummer for those who had something else on their schedule. Gina had no fear to stay back and ask if we could still get into the Q & A’s. They said come on back.
We went to a bar and grill on top of the Racquet Club and to our surprise, Adam Scarimbolo, a supporting role in the film, was drinking tea at a table by himself. Gina came through again and bravely asked him to join us. They hit it off with conversation because they are both from New York. I learned a very important thing while hanging out with them. Never try to say something like, “I have never been to New York but I love the Yankees!” Because, they might open their jacket to show off that they are a New York Mets fan. What an open mouth insert foot moment. He then escorted us back to the Q & A’s where we were lucky to get front row!
I loved to listen to Dito Montiel. He was brilliant and so sweet. But I was dying to see the film so I could see what all the rage was about.
Finally when noon came on Saturday, we excitedly waited to watch the film. After talking to Adam Scarimbolo, it was really fun to see him on the “big” screen. About the film…INCREDIBLE! It was just awesome knowing it was based on Dito Montiel’s life and his book he wrote with the same title.
The story was very strong and tense. It went back and forth from 1986 to present day, which aligned a very nice B story. The payoff was great, the actors were fabulous in their characters, and without a doubt, this IS my favorite film of the festival. This should to great in the box office…there is no doubt it will make a theatrical release.
Sundance.Org is approaching one million downloads of short films, filmmaker interviews and behind the scenes footage from Sundance 2006. Fifty of the 73 shorts premiering at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival are being posted online this year, about 50 percent more than 2005 numbers.
“At this pace we expect to reach one million free video downloads by the time the Festival closes on Sunday, signaling a fantastic worldwide audience for Sundance’s short film program,” sundance.org chief producer Joseph Beyer said. The films will be available on the site through June 2006.
The most popular short film downloads include GOPHER BROKE, an animation about a hungry gopher that finds out there’s no such thing as a free lunch; DIVORCE LEMONADE, a dark comedy about a young girl that covers for her drunk and estranged father; and FOURTEEN, a silent drama about a 14-year-old bride on her wedding day. My personal favorites are HA-HA-HA AMERICA and FUMI AND THE BAD LUCK FOOT. Also, JASPER MORELLO.
Other new online programs planned for the remainder of the Festival include the January 28th podcast of a panel discussion with Wim Wenders and Sam Shepard about their collaboration on the classic film PARIS, TEXAS.
GUEST BLOGGER: MICHAEL MONTESA says, “So far, this is the best Sundance ever. This is my second year at Sundance Film Festival and my experience this year is better than my previous one. I really liked all the movies I watched this year and we didn’t have to wait to buy the movie tickets in the freezing weather. We got them right away or bought them from the ticket office very early in the morning before the showing. I really enjoyed listening to the Q&A after the movies and I liked the fact that I get to vote for the movies that are in the competition and now can’t wait if the movies I have watched will out as a winner.
As the photographer and videographer, I really enjoyed my work at Sundance. Even though I have to haul my equipment in Main Street (what a hike), on the crowded bus and movie theaters, my cameras allow me to get closer to where the action is. I was able to get a close up photos of the filmmakers and celebrities on the stage and in the streets. My only advice to future Sundancer is when you take photos, ask permission first and you will get a better picture. Filmmakers and celebrities actually liked being photographed and they actually liked it when you tell them that the photos are used for publications or a website. Having a professional cameras too helps a lot. They look at you more as a pro and will not think of you as just a fan.
Most of the movies I have watched at Sundance this year are very inspiring. I came home inspired and it made me more excited to make a film of my own. As an aspiring filmmaker, the festival taught me a to become a better team player. Filmmaking is not just a one person project. It takes a team of talented people to create a film that looks polished and that makes money. During panel discussion and post movie Q & A, Film directors, Producers and Editors discuss on how hard they work on the film and how much they had fun working together. It’s really good to know that in this business, it’s not just about the money, it’s also about how they enjoy working with each other and that they really enjoy the art of filmmaking and they enjoy the job they went to school for.
One of my favorite thing about Sundance is that you never know who you sit next to either on the bus, plane, shuttle cars or who you ran into the Main Street and the theater. Some people are very friendly and polite and some filmmakers we ran into are very nice. We got to meet a very nice actor and Lindsey and I scored an interview with him. On my way from the Salt Lake City airport to Park City, I sat next to a first time filmmaker from Chicago. We exchanged emails and phone numbers and got to chat with him about his film. The film festival is about networking. You never know that someday the people you meet in Park City can be your ticket to success.
My Sundance experience will never be fun without the company of Cyndi, Alec, Lindsey, Gina, Jeanette and Katie. Everybody had a blast hiking up the Main Street every night, looking for some shag, I mean Swag, and waiting for the bus at 1AM in freezing weather and not to mention slipping on ice. Lindsey, Alec and I went to an All-Star Jam Session party and the Sundance House at the Kimball Art Center. The party was packed and we really enjoyed the music. Most of the music they played was part of the soundtrack of the film playing at the festival. Alec is a great company when we go out at night and he is such an entertaining person.
I am so grateful for Cyndi for encouraging and inspiring us about filmmaking and most of all for letting us stay at her Condo. I would like to thank her, Cinema Minima and MCC for giving me a chance to get my work publish through the azcentral.com and Arizona Republic. Until next year…….”
GUEST BLOGGER: LINDSEY BLACK says, “What an unbelievable experience! First of all, I have to give all my thanks to Cyndi Greening. Without her knowledge and experience, I would have never made it to Park City, Utah. Just to see and feel her energy there got me so excited that it was easy to get into it. I must also thank Michael Montessa for showing me around town and helping me get to the airport…although, I was NOT ready to go home.
The only regret I have is that I didn’t stay the whole 10 days. I loved every movie I saw and I am totally satisfied even though there were still many terrific films to see. Oh…I lied. I do have another regret and a bit of advice. Do NOT buy cheap snow boots! You are going to be doing a lot of walking, so get comfy! My pair did finally “break in” to the point I did survive.
It was so much fun staying in Cyndi’s condo with her son Alec, classmates Gina and Mike, another Mesa Community College teacher/friend Jeanette and her daughter Katie. It was neat to hear the different opinions on the films and actors. We were such a diverse group but it all came down to the fact we were there to study the Art of Independent Filmmaking.
I brought home the memories of hanging out with my friends, good films that may never get distribution, the once in a lifetime chance to having lunch with an actor (thanks Gina), the knowledge of what it takes to make a great film, continued inspiration to get involved in film projects…continued because Cyndi is the one who sparked my interest in the love of film first. Most important…I got shagged! Oh…I mean I got some great swag. Mike always called it shag! Then again, I guess I was the one who pronounced the Eccles Theatre wrong…but we won’t go there…until next year.
GUEST BLOGGER: ALEC HART says, “This is my fourth Sundance Film Festival. We were invited to a filmmaker’s party tonight. It was interesting to watch some of the directors posture and act like they were really important. Since everyone in the room had made a film, I couldn’t understand why some of them were so special. Most of the directors just looked like any of the other students I see around MCC. It’s cool to think that the first two years I came to Sundance, MIKE LUCIANO came along. Mike went on to work on Morgan Spurlock’s 30 DAYS and an independent film with Tupac Shakur’s half-brother. Now, he’s in New York, editing for SUBVOYANT. But, two years ago, we were hanging out in the digital center, checking out the new Sony cameras and looking for evening filmmaker parties.
This year, MIKE MONTESA came up to the festival for the second time. Mike is a great videographer and photographer. He hauls a ton of equipment up and down the hills to catch the best shots for the blogs. He is great at finding SWAG, too. He has more hats and t-shirts than anyone I know. He deserves it for all the work he does. Mike is really excited about his DEAD RAT. It’s a muffler for his shotgun microphone. Mike loves equipment.
We all had fun cruising Main Street every night. One night, we went to a party at the Kimball Art Center. They have a bunch of giant photos on the walls that were taken at the festival and printed on portable HP printers. Mike was having printer envy.”
ACQUIRED
As we reported a couple of days ago, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE was acquired by Fox Searchlight for a reported $10 million. It was also reported that Michel Gondry’s THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP was picked up for about $6 million. Starring the always captivating Gabriel Garcia Bernal, the film was thought to be a hard sell because of the variety of languages in the film.
It was reported that FACTOTUM was acquired by IFC just prior to the festival. Today, IFC continued its purchasing trend by picking up WORDPLAY for a rumored $3 million. A film about the NY Times crossword puzzle aficionados and creator, Will Shortz, the film had a strong festival buzz. (I wonder if that will translate into attention and interest for director Andrew Blubaugh whose short film HELLO, THANKSpreceded WORDPLAY? I hope so!)
RUMORED TO BE CLOSE TO ACQUISITION
We keep hearing that there are a few other films that are very close to being sealed. THE ILLUSIONIST (starring Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti) keeps being mentioned. The buzz around Giamatti is strong for another film, THE HAWK IS DYING. Also frequently rumored to be getting close is the Robin Williams / Armistad Maupin thriller THE NIGHT LISTENER.
SHOULD GET DISTRIBUTION
There are several terrific films that we’ve seen that are generating some heat and we’re hoping to read about the acquisition deals in the next few days. (Acquisition means you have the chance of seeing them, too!!) Here are some of our favorites of the festival:
One of the most wonderful films we’ve seen is EVE AND THE FIRE HORSE. The film is beautifully shot, extremely well-acted and thoroughly satisfying as a tale about the magical thinking of a child. Feeling herself to be all powerful, Eve experiences several magical/mystical moments that are reveal how deeply she believes in her power. I love the drowning of the fire horses and Eve’s own underwater immersion. Unlike WRISTCUTTERS (another film I really liked but found the effects to be distracting), the special effects in EVE AND THE FIRE HORSE are completely believable. Watch for this amazing film!
Another film to watch for is the romantic comedy PUCCINI FOR BEGINNERS. Written and directed by Maria Maggenti, the film is the story of a lesbian who, much to her surprise, falls in love with a man. Screened in Salt Lake City, even the very conservative audience found themselves laughing and enjoying the humor of the film. Funded by Gary Winick’s INDIGENT Entertainment, producer Eden Wurmfeld used the newest Sony cameras to capture a visually compelling film. (While I love many INDIGENT films, I am glad they decided to forego the small handhelds for something more substantial.) The result is a funny, entertaining story. Audiences are loving the film.

Writer/director Maria Maggenti answers questions from an enthusiastic audience following the 11:30 PM screening of her film at the Library in Park City, Utah at the Sundance 2006 Film Festival.
GUEST BLOGGER: JEANETTE ROE (Mesa Community College Media Arts faculty) says, “My first Sundance experience was memorable. The most important thing I learned is how to “Festival”! While one could certainly “drop into” Park City to catch the Sundance Film Festival, that decision would NOT give one the optimal experience. In order to have the optimal festival you have to plan your schedule, pre-register for tickets, dress in layers, know the venues, be ready to talk about your experiences with other festival goers, be patient with the crowds, play it cool when encountering stars and always keep your ears open to the buzz around you!
There was always an interesting conversation to participate in or eavesdrop on … I heard discussions on finding funding for projects, production woes, deals in the process, and star gossip. For the optimal festival experience, I would also recommend staying for the Q & A sessions. All of them were really interesting and are a big part of the best Sundance experience. There were several films I felt differently about after the Q & A. As a Media Arts instructor, I found that hearing the director talking about what it took to put the film together or listening to methods the actors used to embody their characters informed my future teaching practices.
And, at the end of a full day coming ‘home’ to a comfortable fire and friends was completely satisfying. For my students, I learned … they have to use their singular vision to make a movie or an animation … they have get it done and get it out there. During my Sundance 2006 Festival experience, I noticed that all around me were normal people who had done just that.”
Sundance is about chances …
I have to tell you that when I signed up for classes at Mesa Community College, in Arizona, I never expected it to lead me to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Thanks to Cyndi Greening, my instructor at MCC, I got the chance to experience a long weekend surrounded by creative energy that was as original as each snowflake that fell from the Park City sky.
My days were spent viewing films and sitting in on the Question & Answer sessions that followed each film. I was able to soak in information about the film making process from those who know it best, the writers, the executive staff, the directors and the actors of the films that I was viewing. To be the first to watch films that have never been viewed before was exciting, but when you get a chance to hear the director say that this is his first feature film and that he never expected to be standing before you — this is inspiring. The intimacy of the Q & A allows you the unique opportunity to form a connection to the film that you might not have had without the “story” of its creation.
I so enjoyed my conversations with Sundancers that I met standing on the many lines or riding the shuttle bus from theater to theater. Most of them were people who were more interested in movie making as an art form and less interested in what bar Paris Hilton was hanging out in or why she was wearing short shorts when it was 10 degrees. I must admit, I enjoyed some star gazing myself. It was definitely way cool to have Robert Downey, Jr. pose for a photo with me and to be sitting right next to Sting (he is so hot!).
Ashley Judd is as beautiful off screen as she is on screen, but what I am most impressed with is that when she speaks, she is smart, sophisticated and a generous humanitarian, working as the YouthAIDS Global Ambassador. She spends her time and her money in Africa and the US. She uses her limelight to help stop the spread of AIDS among young people. In COME EARLY MORNING, Ashley gave writer/director Joey Lauren Adam’s character, Lucy, a chance to jump off the pages. Her pungent performance shows us that we don’t have to inherit our family’s inability to have a meaningful relationship. This is a choice we make and you can wake up one day and decide to make choices that bring you inner peace.
My favorite time of each day was meeting back at the condo with my film-loving “Sundance Family” and discussing all that we saw and heard and learned as we tried to warm our Arizona feet by the fireplace. A chance to transform our Sundance Experience into memories that will last a lifetime!
