Parker Posey on the Glory Days of Sundance and the Perils of Modern-Day Indie Filmmaking

Vulture has a great interview with Parker recollecting memories of past Sundance Film Festivals:

What do you remember about that first time you went to Sundance?
It was 1995, I think, for Party Girl. It felt great, it felt like there was a movement happening and that movies were cool. People were more accessible, and it was more intimate. It seemed to all happen on Main Street, and you’d go up and down the hill to try to get tickets to all these movies, or walk in somewhere and have a conversation with Tom DiCillo or these film buyers. It was positive, so positive, and so creative. It wasn’t about money. It wasn’t about money! It was about new voices, it was about filmmaking.

She also explains why the festival is still important today and how filmmaking and distribution has changed over the years. Read the rest of the interview at Vulture’s site.
