A.V. Rockwell's A Thousand And One takes home the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance

The Sundance Film Festival handed out its annual awards today, signaling the end of the first fully in-person version of the festival to grace Park City, UT in multiple years. (Okay, technically the fest extends for a couple more days, but you know things are wrapping up once the trophies start flying.)

Big winners at today’s event include, first and foremost, A.V. Rockwell’s A Thousand And One, which took home the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. Dramatic competition. The film stars Teyana Taylor as a young woman who kidnaps her own son (Aaron Kingsley Adetola as a young child, Josiah Cross as a teenager), after he was placed in the foster system after she was incarcerated, and raises him under an assumed name.

Other winners at today’s festival—and specifically, in U.S. Dramatic—include Maryam Keshavarz, who received the Audience Award and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award for The Persian Version; director Sing J. Lee, who won the Directing award for The Accidental Getaway Driver; and the creative team behind Jonathan Majors’ bodybuilding drama Magazine Dreams, who won a Special Jury Award for Creative Vision. For acting, Special Jury Awards also went to Lio Mehiel for Mutt, and the ensemble cast of Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman’s Theater Camp.

You can see the full list of winners, including the U.S. Documentary competition and both of the World Cinema competitions, below.
