Instead we have a blurring of genres, a crossing of boundaries: geographic, generational, socio-economic and the like," said Geoffrey Gilmore, Director, Sundance Film Festival. "The result is both an exhilarating and emotive Festival in which traditional mythologies are suspended, discoveries are made, and creative storytelling is embraced." "Audiences may be surprised by how much emotion this year's films evoke," said John Cooper, Director of Programming, Sundance Film Festival. "We are seeing the next evolution of the independent film movement where films focus on storytelling with a sense of connection and purpose." For the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, 118 feature-length films were selected including 88 world premieres, 18 North American premieres, and 4 U.S. premieres representing 21 countries with 42 first-time filmmakers, including 28 in competition.

  • 2011 NLMC Network Diversity Narrative
    NLMC National Latino Media Council 2011 NLMC Network Diversity Narrative Two years ago the National Latino Media Council (NLMC) celebrated the 10th anniversary of the signing of the historic Memoranda of Understanding between the Multi-Ethnic Media Coalition1 and the top television broadcast networks: ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX. This is the 10th anniversary of the Diversity Report Cards. This ten year partnership has produced tangible and incremental results, but we seem to have reached a plateau. The networks want to reach the burgeoning Latino audience, but they have yet to understand just how to do so. According to the 2010 Census, Latinos are 16% of the U.S. population, representing $1 trillion in purchasing power annually. During the 2009-2010 television season, the Nielsen Company identified 12.9 million U.S. Latino TV households; approximately 65% of these households watch English media. As the Latino population continues to grow, the networks’ diversity performance remains inadequate. In the next decade, NLMC will identify and encourage the systematic change needed to weave more Latinos into the networks’ fabric. The network executives understand that Latinos represent a considerable audience, yet they struggle to create shows with which Latinos can connect. NLMC grades the networks on creative executives because it is essential that Latinos be part of the decision-making teams that green light programs. Without more Latinos creative executives, writers, producers and directors, television shows are less likely to succeed in attracting the Latino audience. There is much work to be done in the area of adding diversity to the ranks of working writers in Hollywood.
