The Sundance Film Festival is one of the largest independent movie festivals in the United States that showcases new movies from American and international independent filmmakers. Since it was founded in 1978, the festival has given big breaks for a lot of today's notable filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained), David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook), and Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan). Movies like 500 Days of Summer, Little Miss Sunshine, and Garden State were also first shown in the festival. This year, Sundance is giving movie-goers another batch of wonoderful and brilliant films. We are not yet sure if these will get international screenings, but we hope they do.
