The 2022 Sundance Film Festival announced its award winners Friday, with Nikyatu Jusu's "Nanny" winning the U.S. dramatic competition grand jury prize and Ben Klein and Violet Columbus' "The Exiles" winning the U.S. documentary grand jury prize. The audience awards went to Cooper Raiff's "Cha Cha Real Smooth" for the U.S. dramatic competition and Daniel Roher's "Navalny" for the U.S. documentary competition.
"The 2022 Sundance Film Festival once again met our audience wherever they happened to be," festival director Tabitha Jackson said in a statement. "Whether you watched from home or one of our seven satellite screens, this year's Festival expressed a powerful convergence; we were present, together, as a community connected through the work. And it is work that has already changed those who experienced it."
Among the jury prizes, 53% of the feature films were directed by one or more women, while 42% were directed by one or more person of color.
