Sundance Institute announced Jackson as the Sundance Film Festival’s new director. Tabitha Jackson fills spot vacated by John Cooper Submitted by Sundance Institute Sundance Institute has announced Tabitha Jackson as the new director of the Sundance Film Festival. Jackson was chosen from a worldwide search and follows outgoing director John Cooper, who served in the role for 11 years and will assume a newly created emeritus director role. An award-winning filmmaker, Jackson has served as director of the Institute’s Documentary Film Program for the last six years. Jackson will oversee the festival’s overall vision and strategy, while leading a senior team in close collaboration with Director of Programming Kim Yutani.

Her authenticity, experience and perspective will serve her well in leading the Festival forward as a beacon for independent artists and audiences.” “I founded Sundance Institute with the clear mission of celebrating and supporting independent artists, said Sundance Institute founder Robert Redford, “and the festival is the platform where we can showcase their stories. As we approach our 40th anniversary, I’m pleased to have Tabitha lead us as we move into the future and meet the next generation of artists and their stories.” Jackson has served as the director of the Institute’s Documentary Film Program since 2013, and in that time has overseen the creation of innovative new programs and resources that support nonfiction filmmakers worldwide with special passion for expanding the art of non-fiction storytelling. A focus of Jackson’s new role will be shaping the nonprofit Institute’s full slate of global public programming throughout the year – including Sundance Film Festivals in Hong Kong and London and a nationwide Short Film Tour – as well as leading the community of artists and audiences those programs serve. Prior to joining the Institute, Jackson worked in arts and entertainment for more than 25 years as an award-winning filmmaker. Prior to joining the Institute in 2013, she served as head of arts and performance at Channel 4 Television in London, where she supported the independent and alternative voice and sought to find fresh and innovative ways of storytelling. She executive produced a number of projects for the UK’s Film 4 including Mark Cousins’ cinematic odyssey “The Story of Film,” Clio Barnard’s formally experimental “The Arbor,” Sophie Fiennes’ essay “The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology,” Bart Layton’s thriller “The Imposter,” and Iain and Jane’s innovative Nick Cave biography “20,000 Days on Earth.” “It is exciting to be amplifying the voices and work of independent artists in these challenging and fast-changing times,’” said Jackson. “My role, working with a team at the top of their game, will be to ensure that the festival remains as effective, vital and transformational in the years going forward as it has been in the past — and to make sure that we have fun doing it. I can’t wait to get started.” The Sundance Film Festival’s scope and ambition have evolved over John Cooper’s tenure, including programmatic innovation and thoughtful global expansion. The 2020 festival received over 15,100 submissions from around the world, featured over 200 new works from a diverse array of voices, welcomed more than 125,000 guests to Utah, and reaches millions more who watch festival news and content online. Continued from C-3 The first two years of piano lessons were “a grind,” he said. “When you’re seven, it’s quite difficult to practice, because you want to be out there playing soccer or cricket,” Jones said. Things changed when he turned 9. “I distinctly remember hearing something on the radio and being able to pick it out on the piano,” Jones said. “From there, It gradually became an almost unhealthy obsession, and I would practice four hours a day, totally disrupting our household and the neighbors. So, I apologize now for any life I’ve ruined, but I just had to do it. And it’s paid off in the end for me.” Jones doesn’t plan on retiring anytime soon. “It is exciting, and I love what I do,” he said. “I wouldn’t have thought that I’d still be doing this, but I am. And there’s life in the old dog, yet.” Jones will play the Egytian he said. “You want them to not just like what you’ve added to the partnership, but to be blown away a bit. I think there’s an extra excitement when you collaborate, and I’ve hardly ever done it in my whole career.” Jones said his career, which includes a string of multi-platinum-selling albums and singles, started with piano lessons when he was seven. “My parents wanted me to learn the piano,” he said. “They were Welsh, and there is a tradition that you learn an instrument.” 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 20 25 27 32 34 36 37 38 39 Temper Knows about Disney World attraction Side for a dog Commanded “Lose Yourself” rapper Barcelona bull Part of a process Italian Neorealism film pioneer Vittorio De __ Between, to Berlioz It may be inflated Ben-Hur portrayer Stomach woe Armed forces units Heaps Like Switz. in WWII Concerning Went by Indy competitor Cowardly Lion portrayer Road trip need Wintry pellets Boundary Musical pitch Tied up at the harbor Bright signs 40 43 44 45 48 50 51 52 53 54 55 57 58 59 62 64 67 68 69 71 73 74 76 78 Lady of song Prosthetic eagle claw?
