Sundance Film Festival Gala to Honor Michelle Satter, ‘Didi,’ ‘Sugarcane’ Filmmakers
The 2025 Sundance Film Festival Gala will present Vanguard Awards to the filmmakers of 'Didi' and 'Sugarcane' and honor Michelle Satter.
The Vanguard Award for Fiction will be given to Sean Wang for writing and directing “Dìdi (弟弟).” The Vanguard Award for Nonfiction will go to Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, co-directors of “ Sugarcane.” The gala will take place on Jan. 24 at the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley in Park City, Utah. “I’m passionately invested in this work because I believe that art and storytelling can truly reshape the world, sparking empathy, bridging humanity, and fostering understanding for global audiences, all while engaging and inspiring them.” We will never forget that special afternoon at the Library Center Theatre when the room went dark and we held hands — and our breath — with anticipation,” said the two in a statement.
