Last night the Sundance Institute announced the award winners for the 2013 Sundance Film Festival at the Awards Ceremony, hosted by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Park City, Utah.
Introducing the ceremony, John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, “The films at our festival this year truly reflect the unbridled passion, immense talent and diverse stories coming from the independent filmmaking community. I am confident that the awards presented this evening will fuel those films with special promise and that audiences will continue to champion the films they have discovered here.”
“The lively dialogue and genuine excitement sparked by the films over the past ten days is sure to resonate as they further reach audiences in the weeks and months ahead,” commented Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute. “We congratulate and thank all of the filmmakers who shared their stories with us, and we look forward to continuing to support them.”

Before Midnight, Upstream Color and A.C.O.D. are my most anticipated from Sundance. Heard positive buff for Fruitvale. I'll look out for your reviews, since I don't know a lot about most of the winners. A pity "Stories We Tell" didn't get a nom for doc, at least was in the non-competitive spotlight category.
I haven't come across many of these yet. The documentaries sound very intriguing from the titles.
This is one of the few festivals I'd actually like to get to one year. It's always such a scramble to try to catch the films. Trying to get my hands on Circles first.
