Si chiude a Park City, nello Utah, l’edizione 2017 del Sundance Film Festival, appuntamento imperdibile per gli amanti del cinema indipendente, creato dall’attore Robert Redford, che quest’anno è comparso anche in una pellicola in rassegna, La Scoperta.
Un’edizione sicuramente segnata dal caos e dalla confusione quella di quest’anno, tra proteste anti-Trump, Women’s March, un cyber attaco che ha messo in crisi il festival per una giornata intera e una cerimonia di chiusura turbolenta dopo la notizia del Muslim Ban firmato da Trump (che ha avuto subito le sue conseguenze dirette anche sulla cerimonia degli Oscar di quest’anno). Nonostante tutto, l’edizione 2017 si è conclusa e quindi non ci resta che elencarvi i vincitori:
