I believe that Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Award is a very important program
for the international cinema in supporting new artists, whoever they may be.
It is important, because new visions created by new talents give us a constant renewal of
new ways to look at life, and at the world. That is what is great about art.
-- Robert Redford --

The Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Award was first established in 1995 by NHK and the Sundance Institute to honor and support emerging filmmakers with their next screenplay - one each from the United States, Japan, Latin America and Europe -who possess the originality, talent, and vision to be celebrated as we look into the future of international cinema. Sundance Institute, founded by Robert Redford, is a non-profit organization and is currently engaged in a range of programs that include support for independent writers and filmmakers.
