This list, which you should pour over below, is one of the many results of the Sundance Institute's year-round mission to amplify the voices of storytellers and audiences across ethnicities, genders, abilities, sexual orientations, and geographic regions-work we do in part through our Women at Sundance and Outreach & Inclusion programs.
Packages are on sale for the 2022 Sundance Film Festival now and single film tickets will be available starting in early January. Check out the full list of films by women and non-binary filmmakers below and make sure to favorite the films that speak to you to make sure you don't miss them.
