FILMS

2).Jennifer Fox's Retrospective,because Jennifer Fox is a festival favorite at Sundance and each of her films (which are featured at the festival) explores a different theme (family,sexuality and religion).

3)."The Furious Force Of Rhymes" is the opening film of the festival and it shows rap music as a contemporary form of protest.

4)."The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975" is one of last year's most acclaimed indie documentaries and it talks about the afro-american community known as the Black Power,between 1967 and 1975.
