The Advocate returns to Park City again this
year to bring you the latest in queer cinema at the leading
festival for independent film. With the writers strike
showing no sign of ending soon, this year's
Sundance should prove to be a full-on feeding
frenzy, with studios gobbling up as much product as they can
to fill out their slates. Advocate film critic
Kyle Buchanan will be bringing you reviews and
interviews with the directors who are shepherding the
queer content. Arts & entertainment editor Corey
Scholibo will be updating this site regularly with news,
events, gossip, and the lowdown on all the swag. It's
going to be a cold one, so sit back in the comfort of
your own home and let The Advocate take you to the
2008 Sundance Film Festival.
Catch up on the latest news from Sundance with
our editors' most recent blog postings.
