Australian film has a strong history at Sundance Film Festival, with award-winning feature films like Relic (2020), The Nightingale (2019) and Top End Wedding (2019) all featuring in past festivals. This year is no different; with the recent announcement of Sundance’s 2021 program, which will take place online and in person, comes the news that three Australian productions will feature.
The three productions cross a broad range of genres and include animated VR film Prison X – Chapter 1: The Devil & The Sun, feature-length documentary Playing with Sharks, and award-winning independent animation short, GNT.
