Alumni of the Tisch School of the Arts dominated the 2004 Sundance Film Festival (January 15-25) with nine films in competition winning 10 honors in some 21 award categories. In addition, this was a record year for NYU Tisch in Park City, Utah with a total of 35 films-representing 61 alumni, students and faculty-chosen for screening by the Sundance programming team.
"We are very pleased with the outstanding showing Kanbar Institute filmmakers made at Sundance this year," said Mary Schmidt Campbell, dean of the Tisch School of the Arts. "Sundance is the preeminent showcase for independent film in our country, and its dominance by our alumni is wonderful confirmation of the success of an academic program that fosters and supports creativity."
