It was produced by Philippe Rousselet, Fabrice Gianfermi, Patrick Wachsberger and Jerome SeydouxĪpple TV Plus, which launched in 2019 and fielded the popular TV series “The Morning Show,” has been ramping up its film slate. Along with hearing actors Jones and Eugenio Derbez, the film features deaf actors Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur and Daniel Durant in key roles. For Heder, it was important that “CODA” (an acronym for Children of Deaf Adults) had inclusive casting.

“Yet the movie brings this all off with such sincerity and precision, and the film is so enthrallingly well-acted, that you may come away feeling grateful that this kind of mainstream dramatic craftsmanship still exists.” “In many ways, it’s a highly conventional film, with tailored story arcs that crest and resolve just so, and emotional peaks and valleys that touch big fat rounded chords of inspiration,” he wrote. The 2021 Sundance Film Festival runs through Wednesday.In Variety’s review of “CODA,” chief film critic Owen Gleiberman called the movie a “gem.” He too had a cameo from his own daughter, who came in near the end to tell him that her favorite actors are Emma Watson and Millie Bobby Brown. Oswalt hosted the virtual proceedings from a black leather couch on which he amusingly feigned the audience “catching” him in conversation with an off-screen companion, musing how Marlon Brando faked his death, about not getting in a drinking contest with the Coen brothers, the perils of lending a credit card to Parker Posey, how he lost his deposit after Luptia Nyong’o crashed his snowmobile, and that one time, "I was naked, Soderbergh was naked and then Scorsese walked in. Host Patton Oswalt called the awards, “the Oscars with bangs.” “Writing With Fire,” a documentary about India’s only all-female newspaper, won the world cinema documentary audience award. The film follows a woman after the disappearance of her husband in Kosovo.
“Hive,” from first time filmmaker Blerta Basholli, was awarded the world cinema grand jury prize and the audience award. Neon, the shop that brought Oscar-winner “Parasite” to the U.S, acquired “Flee” for distribution.
The world cinema documentary grand jury prize went to “Flee,” a hand-drawn animated film about a refugee directed by Jonas Poher Rasmussen and executive produced by Riz Ahmed and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. “It’s been such a total honor to be part of Sundance this year,” Shaw said. And I’m so speechless right now.”ĭash Shaw picked up the NEXT Innovator award for his animated fantasy “Cryptozoo,” which Magnolia acquired for release. “My purpose and my goal was to just not drop the ball and just to make my people proud of me. “I’m so overwhelmed right now,” Questlove said.

“I didn’t even know this was a contest, yo.” “Wait a minute, this is too soon,” he said. Questlove, who made his directing debut with "Summer of Soul (.or When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)" at the largely forgotten 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, was caught a little more off guard and got word his first award, the audience prize, from the passenger seat of a car. Heder had her kids and husband join her for the directing honor. Her film, a breakout of the festival, sold to Apple TV+ for a reported $25 million. “The process of making this movie was so incredible and I think we all came out of the making of the film with so much love for each other.” “CODA,” Heder’s film about the hearing child of deaf adults who is trying to carve out her own life apart from her family, won the top awards of the evening including the grand jury prize, the directing award, the audience award and a special ensemble prize. The 2021 Sundance Film Festival Awards were unlike any before and had filmmakers calling in from around the world Tuesday night to cap off the festival’s first virtual edition. Questlove accepted his documentary grand jury prize and audience award from his car on the way to work and “CODA” director Sian Heder accepted her top awards in American Sign Language from her own home with her kids by her side and her husband filming.
