Earlier this evening the Gotham Film & Media Institute held their annual Gotham Awards and we're over the moon that Sundance-supported projects nabbed two major trophies.
Celine Song - one of our upcoming honorees at the Opening Night gala - and her debut feature Past Lives nabbed the top prize of Best Feature. Past Lives won out above A Thousand and One, a fellow 2023 Sundance Film Festival feature, but the film's director A.V. Rockwell was honored as 2023's Breakthrough Director.
