Finding Your Laughter

“The nonprofit Sundance Institute and Sandbox Films announced today the names of the 16 projects and 47 filmmakers receiving support through the Sundance Institute | Sandbox Fund. The fund distributes grants to teams with films in any stage from development to post-production, creating opportunities to explore the intrinsic link between science and culture through innovative nonfiction storytelling. The fund was created in 2017 and has grown significantly since then, redefining the genre of science documentaries through financial and creative support for a global nonfiction artist community. 

Themes that have emerged within this year’s granting cohort include: memory’s power in shaping identity; how other species, scientists, storytellers, and traditional Indigenous knowledge holders navigate environmental transformation; and how technological acceleration is forcing reckonings with biological and ecological limits, redefining time and the human condition.”
