When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

There will never be another one like Tammie and, for that, I am heartbroken.
All of us at Sundance Institute are profoundly saddened by the passing of Tammie Rosen, Chief Communications Officer, following a courageous battle with cancer.

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

Get into the nitty gritty of our filmography!
Sudance Film Festival is waving good-bye to its time in Utah with a watch list of 101 essential films that premiered at the festival. Come for the homework, stay for debating if ‘Boyhood’ or ‘Before Sunrise’ deserved the spot.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

“Thirty-four years ago, a script arrived like nothing I’d ever read.

Thirty-four years ago, I auditioned for Mr. Orange with Keitel and Tarantino.

Thirty-four years ago, my agent called to say her other client for the part.

Thirty-four years later I’m still recovering.”

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.
