'Cha Cha Real Smooth,' 'Nanny' among the Sundance Film Festival 2022 Awards winners. Read the full list:
The 2022 installment of the Sundance Film Festival has wrapped, and awards were announced Friday, with the top jury prizes were awarded to director Nikyatu Jusu’s feature debut Nanny for U.S. Dramatic, with Christine Choy’s The Exiles winning for U.S. Documentary.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Starring Anna Diop, Nanny follows Aisha, an undocumented nanny working for a privileged couple in New York City. While dealing with the tremendous sorrow stemming from the separation from her son in Senegal, a violent supernatural presence invades her reality, threatening her realization of the American Dream.
“Today's awards represent the determination of visionary individuals, whose dynamic work will continue to change the culture and create discourse throughout the year,” said Sundance Institute CEO Joana Vicente. Festival standouts winning the Audience Awards included the U.S. documentary Navalny — also winning the Festival Favorite Award — and Cha Cha Real Smooth in U.S. Dramatic. Centering on recently dubbed terrorist and imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the namesake documentary follows the Russian anti-authoritarian activist from his assassination attempt recovery to his decision to face the worst back in his home country.
