Before every film there is a bumper that exclaims the theme of this year’s festival. The word “rebel” seems to be it this year. Now I ask you, how could the institutional juggernaut of independent cinema be rebelling? What are they fighting against? Deals are being made. Stars are trotted about and the press corps dutifully snaps it all up. Big muckety-mucks from NY and LA are here. Lots of people are reading Variety and Independent Filmmaker. Sundance is THE MAN at this point. You can’t rebel because you are the man. You dictate and purvey your chosen ones.
