Best of the Fests: Sundance 2008

The 2008 Sundance Film Festival came to a close this past weekend. The big news was the surprising lack of big buys; one would think the studios would be snapping up these ready-made films to stock up for the strike-weary future.

But it isn't all about deal making in Park City (at least, it's not supposed to be); awards were handed out as well, with the bleak drama Frozen River and the Hurricane Katrina doc Trouble the Water taking the grand jury prizes.

And for all the scoop on the fest's queer offerings, head over to AfterElton.com for Lawrence Ferber's extensive "Gay Film Dispatches".
