After the last week-plus of covering over 50 films, it’s now time for 2016 Sundance Film Festival to name their favorites. Tonight they’ve unveiled their wide range of winners, topped by Nate Parker‘s Nat Turner slave rebellion drama The Birth of a Nation and, in the documentary section, the political feature Weiner. With many of our other favorites, including Morris From America and Kate Plays Christine, picking up awards, it was another strong year for the festival.
