Sundance Winners: ‘A Thousand and One’ Takes U.S. Dramatic Jury Prize (Complete List) - Variety

Back in Park City, Utah, for the first time since 2020, the Sundance Film Festival concluded with an in-person awards show.

Jeremy O. Harris, a member of the three-person U.S. dramatic jury at Sundance, choked back tears as he presented the award to Rockwell, admitting that he left the director’s premiere screening and cried on the street, as the film unearthed “all the feelings I’ve learned to mask in public spaces.”

“Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project,” directed by Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson, took the U.S. documentary jury prize.

“This year taught me to never forget the magic we make here on the mountain,” festival director of programming Kim Yutani told Variety at the ceremony.

Special Jury Award: Ensemble: The cast of “Theater Camp,” directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman.

Grand Jury Prize: “Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project,” directed by Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson
