The 2010 Sundance Film Festival announced today the members of five juries awarding prizes at the Festival, which runs January 21-31, 2010 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah. The juries collectively are comprised of individuals from the global arts community, each of whom brings unique perspective and range of experience.
All awards will be announced the evening of January 30 at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival Awards Ceremony, to be hosted by David Hyde Pierce at the Park City Racquet Club. The Short Film Awards will also be named earlier at a ceremony on Tuesday, January 26 at Park City's Jupiter Bowl. New for 2010, the Best of NEXT award, selected by ballots cast by the eight NEXT filmmakers, will celebrate a film creating the greatest art on a low budget. The Best of NEXT award is presented by YouTubeTM.
The Lucille Lortel Award-winning Parker Posey has been confirmed as one of this year's jurors for the Sundance Film Festival. Posey will serve as a juror for the U.S. dramatic competition, alongside author Russell Banks, producer Jason Kliot, cinematographer Robert Yeoman, and director Karyn Kusama.
Posey starred in the Off-Broadway revival of Hurlyburly (Lortel Award) and Fifth of July (Lortel nominated). Her stage credits include Broadway's Taller Than a Dwarf, Geffen Playhouse's Four Dogs and a Bone, TV's "As the World Turns," "Tales of the City," "Hell on Heels: the Battle of Mary Kay" (Golden Globe nomination) and the films "The Daytrippers," "The House of Yes," "Clockwatchers," "Waiting for Guffman," "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind." She has been deemed "Queen of the Indies" for her extensive independent film resume.
