Adobe, the creators of the ubiquitous programs Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects are returning to Sundance this year as Leadership Sponsors and hosting a set of events geared towards editing, empowering, and igniting future filmmakers.  Through three separate events, Empowering Every Voice in Film and the World Panel, The Art of Editing Reception, and a special Invitation-Only screening event Adobe will be aiming to foster talent in the winter wonderland of Park City.

Details on the events below.

Empowering Every Voice in Film and the World Panel

When: January 24, 3pm-4pm

Where: Kimball Art Center; 1401 Kearns Blvd, Park City, UT 84060

About: Now is the time to empower and inspire everyone to share their story. It’s only when we experience new perspectives through the lens of someone else’s experience that true change happens. But we know that everyone’s story is not being told. When the lens is skewed, it offers a tilted view of society and unrepresented groups cannot envision themselves as the creative voices driving the most-watched stories. And that is a problem for the industry and the world. Join this lively discussion with stand-out filmmakers on how to bring your own unique voice to life.
