Windrider Film Forum
www.windridercolorado.com/

The Windrider Film Forum debuted in January 2005 in Park City, UT, at the Sundance Film Festival. Windrider is an immersive educational experiment and an ongoing conversation between filmmakers and film lovers. We gather at the nexus of faith, art and culture diving into all three with a sense of expectation and wonder. We have structured the experience to participate in Sundance on Sundance’s own terms. Our “classroom” is the Sundance Film Festival; the content of our “course” are the films we see; our “professors” are the filmmakers who participate in a conversation with us.
