Among the big winners of last year’s Sundance Film Festival, which took place from January 19-29, were Maryam Keshavarz’s The Persian Version and A.V. Rockwell’s A Thousand and One. The former title won both the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, while the latter laid claim to the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize.
