Canon will celebrate the filmmakers working behind the camera with daily programming at the Canon Creative Studio, located at 592 Main Street.
At least 46 of the 213 films premiering as part of this year's slate - over 20 percent -- were shot using Canon equipment. Festival projects filmed using Canon cinema cameras include the first three episodes of the new Amazon Studios series I Love Dick, as well as documentary and narrative features includingMenashe, Deer Squad: The Movie, Motherland, Downward Dog, and ICARUS.
It is our honor to celebrate the work of Sundance Film Festival cinematographers, said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A. Through the eyes - and lenses - of these talented artists, we see how the visual language of filmmaking evolves and innovations in camera technology are applied to storytelling.
Canon will welcome invited 2017 Sundance Film Festival attendees to the Canon Creative Studio (open January 21-24, from 11am-6pm) for interactive displays of Canon equipment, live panel discussions, and a relaxing lounge stocked with coffee, snacks, and wireless internet connection. Here, guests will be able to explore Canon's new flagship cinema camera, the Canon EOS C700 Digital Cinema Camera, the 4.5 million ISO Canon ME20F-SH multi-purpose camera, and the Canon CN-E 50-1000mm CINE-SERVO lens, among other gear on display. On the output side, guests will be able to see the color accuracy and HDR capabilities of Canon's line of 4K Reference Displays.
The Canon Creative Studio will also hostcinematographers, directors, editors, producers, and crew atthe invite-only Raise Your Glass To Cinematographycocktail party (Sunday, January 22), Canon's fifth annual celebration toasting the filmmakers of the Festival.
Canon is also pleased to partner again with IndieWire, a leading news and networking site for the independent film and television industry, for a series of six intimate panel discussions moderated by IndieWire Filmmaker Toolkit Editor Chris O'Falt. Festival filmmakers featured in the discussion series will include Academy Award nominees Matthew Heineman (City of Ghosts, Cartel Land), Rory Kennedy (Take Every Wave: The Life of Laird Hamilton), and cinematographer Jim Frohna (I Love Dick, Transparent).
The panels will be streamed through Facebook Live via IndieWire's page, accessible to those who cannot attend the Festival, giving cinematographers and aspiring cinematographers alike the opportunity to engage with panels. IndieWire will also feature a series of interviews with Sundance cinematographers and pieces that explore cinematography trends at the festival, all sponsored by Canon.
