Most of buzz around the Sundance Film Festival involves the movies and distribution deals, but the true gems of the event are the industry panels and conversations that bring together some of the most influential filmmakers and storytellers in the business. To that degree, Sundance doesn’t get much better than with its Cinema Café chats, which pairs up talent — from actors and filmmakers behind the festival’s hottest titles to jury members and industry heavyweights — to discuss their careers and the business at large.
This year saw discussion teams ranging from Rebecca Hall and Michael Shannon to Lena Dunahm and Norman Lear, Chelsea Handler and Morgan Spurlock and Keegan-Michael Key and Natasha Lyonne, among others. Because Sundance live streams these Cinema Café discussions, all 9 of them from last week are now available to watch in full. Check them all out in the collection below.
