Check Out the Winners from Sundance 2019

Alfre Woodard and Alex Castillo appear in Clemency by Chinonye Chukwu. The film won the U.S. Grand Jury Prize at the 2019 Sundance festival.
After a jam-packed 10 days, Sundance 2019 wrapped this weekend with an awards ceremony to honor the films that really stood out from the festival's 121 features and 73 shorts--all of which were selected from 14,259 submissions. The coveted Grand Jury Prize for the U.S. Dramatic competition went to Chinonye Chukwu for her film Clemency, about a prison warden who grapples with the psychological and emotional demons of her job carrying out death row executions. One Child Nation by Nanfu Wang and Jialing Zhang, which uncovers the untold history of China's one-child policy and the generations of parents and children it shaped, took the equally prestigious Grand Jury Prize in the Documentary competition.
On the international scene, the big winner was the Macedonian entry Honeyland by Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov, which claimed not only the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema Documentary, but also took home special jury awards for cinematography and impact for change. Joanna Hogg claimed the World Cinema Dramatic section's top prize for her film The Souvenir.
“Supporting artists and their stories has been at the core of Sundance Institute’s mission from the very beginning,” said Sundance Institute President and Founder Robert Redford. "At this critical moment, it’s more necessary than ever to support independent voices, to watch and listen to the stories they tell.”
"This year’s expansive festival celebrated and championed risk-taking artists," said Keri Putnam, the Institute's Executive Director. "As the Festival comes to a close, we look forward to watching the stories and conversations that started here as they shape and define our culture in the year to come."
