It's over! Our unofficial 2023 jury awards at Sundance Film Festival

Oh, Sundance Film Festival - a cloud nine mental state for film makers and filmmakers. This is an event where the ingenious filmmaking and extreme elevation can leave you stunned. The "Sundance Sickness" symbolizes the irresistible desire to be at all of the gatherings at one at the same time and the inevitable virus that will besiege your bod due to shaking all the hands, chatting closely with people in noisy rooms even if you're not sleeping.
