From deep dives into the fraught history of safe abortion access and the backstories of comedy legends, to inventive takes on fantastic horrors and authentic coming-of-age stories the 2022 Sundance Film Festival is once again brimming with films by talented storytellers and artists. Within this year's lineup, we're honored to be stacked with cutting-edge projects by women and non-binary filmmakers that highlight everything from social media apps influence on culture and politics, to the climate crisis and the militarization of police.
These films - screening at the Fest from January 20-30, 2022 - expand the lens of storytelling and perspectives to more accurately represent our world and our future. This list, which you should pour over below, is one of the many results of the Sundance Institute's year-round mission to amplify the voices of storytellers and audiences across ethnicities, genders, abilities, sexual orientations, and geographic regions-work we do in part through our Women at Sundance and Outreach & Inclusion programs.
Packages are on sale for the 2022 Sundance Film Festival now and single film tickets will be available starting in early January. Check out the full list of films by women and non-binary filmmakers below and make sure to favorite the films that speak to you to make sure you don't miss them.
