The Sundance New Frontier 2022 selection of 15 immersive stories is available starting today until January 30th, and I had a chance to speak with chief curator Shari Frilot an overview of this year’s selection. Access to New Frontier Spaceship and Gallery is $50 with the Explorer Pass, which also provides access to the shorts and episodic content at the festival.
I’ve also had a chance to see the majority of these pieces through the press preview on Tuesday, and I leave some of my first impressions at the end of the podcast as well — as well as in a Twitter thread linked below. There’s some really strong pieces that I’ll exploring and unpacking in a series of in-depth podcast interviews with the lead directors and creators. I’ve listed links to projects below, as well as when their Artist Spotlight discussions with the creators will be happening.
