Sundance is holding its final edition in Utah — with in-person screenings running Park City and Salt Lake City until Sunday and online screenings running through the weekend. Of note, Sundance announced its Audience and Jury awards this morning. Even virtual tickets sell out; so aside from the honor of winning, the practical implication is that these films will have additional in-person screening and online presentations.

Josephine, one of the best of what I’ve seen so far, had been sold out all week; so now’s your chance! If you’d been hoping to see one of these, grab your tickets ASAP to program your rainy weekend Couchdance!
