2022 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: 75 Predictions For a Hybrid Edition

Date:

How well you adapt to new situations determines how relevant you remain. Of the 2021 edition, Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s Flee appears to be a front-runner in several foreign film and animated film year-end best categories, Rebecca Hall’s Passing might double up on noms when the Indie Spirits are announced and Questlove’s Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) might end up in the winner’s circle when the Oscars are handed out.

Sundance is a mecca for quality submissions and actively promote female filmmakers, filmmakers of color, docu cinema, LGBTQ+ community and let’s not forget – the first time filmmakers. For the upcoming 2022 edition, we can expect around 80 titles to drop – making the hybrid (in-person, satellite cities and online) edition more manageable and also, more exclusive. As we do every pre Thanksgiving, we like to imagine what the next Sundance might look like on paper. Here are some of the films and voices that we believe have a chance to be part of the festivities. Enjoy all 75!
