THE BIG CONVERSATION

The Big Conversation tackles science, art, culture, and the movements that are fueling the imaginations of today's independent artists. A compelling selection of speakers discuss topics centered on the themes of this year's program and explore broader trends in art and culture around the world. In considering how artists - through their practice and their work - make meaning of the world, we're reminded that it's the big conversation that connects us to the big ideas.

Reflecting on how artists respond to what's happening around the world, this conversation focuses on electrifying musicians and their creative process heightening the cinematic story through music and ambience.

Featuring: Daniel Hart (The Green Knight), Saul Williams (Neptune Frost), and Drum & Lace (Summering)

Moderated by Dan Wilcox (KCRW)

At this special event celebrating Sundance Institute's 40th anniversary, we take a joyous look into the rebel histories of award-winning, renowned filmmakers who premiered their shorts and debut films at the Festival.
