A major focus of Sundance this year was diversity and inclusion. This began with the selection of its films—45 of the 112 feature films accepted to Sundance in 2019 were directed or co-directed by females, 40 were directed by people of color, and 15 were directed by persons who identify as LGBTQIA. Sundance did not stop at representation in filmmaking, since the Festival programmers also provided 63 percent of its media credentials to underrepresented groups. This was in response to an internal review by Sundance in 2018 that found that the overwhelming majority of the critics covering Sundance were white males. These changes paid off big, since the four Grand Jury Prizes all went to films directed or co-directed by female filmmakers, and many of the most successful acquisitions were directed by women or people of color.
