About Best 5 Sundance Film Festival Event Updates
The Sundance Film Festival went virtual this year and featured seven days of premieres, events, artist talks and cutting-edge XR exhibitions.
Here’s the Top 5 movies from the Sundance Film Festival 2021
1. “Flee”
In this animated documentary, Amin Nawabi, an Afghan refugee, whose identity remains anonymous, agrees to tell a remarkable personal narrative of persecution and escape.
2. “Mass”
Richard (Reed Birney), Linda (Ann Dowd), Jay (Jason Isaacs) and Gail (Martha Plimpton) are each facing a loss that has taken so much from them. Something connects these two families, but it takes audiences some time before they find the answer: Richard and Linda’s son killed Jay and Gail’s son, along with nine others and himself, in a school shooting. Years after the tragedy, filled with grief, sadness, despair and anger, Jay and Gail are ready to face the truth in an attempt to move on.
3. “Judas and the Black Messiah”
The film is based on true events surrounding the betrayal of Fred Hampton (Daniel Kaluuya), chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party in the late 1960s, at the hands of William O’Neal (LaKeith Stanfield). O’Neal was a petty criminal, and one day, caught in the act with the possibility of facing several years behind bars if convicted, the FBI gives him the chance to walk free if he agrees to infiltrate the Black Panther Party and take down Hampton. He agrees and quickly earns Hampton’s trust. But as the years go on, O’Neal begins to weigh whether he’s doing the right thing.
4. “The Pink Cloud”
The Portuguese-language film opens on a beautiful clear day. All seems to be well, until a mysterious pink cloud appears. It looks so delicate and gentle as it floats over the city. That is until it comes into contact with a human and kills them almost instantly. Giovana (Renata de Lélis) and Yago (Eduardo Mendonça) are strangers who share a spark after meeting at a party.
5. “CODA”
As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), Ruby (Emilia Jones) is the only hearing person in her family, which means she’s always around to help them communicate with others. “CODA” is full of heart and soul. There are cute, embarrassing moments, such as her parents driving into the school’s parking lot while rap music blasts from the car radio, and touching ones. While everyone around them gets to listen to Ruby’s beautiful voice, her family is unable to truly enjoy her talent.
