32-й ежегодный кинофестиваль Сандэнс прошел с 21 по 31 января, 2016 в городе Парк-Сити, штат Юта, США.
Фильмом открытия фестиваля стала картина Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You, закрывал фестиваль документальный фильм «Ричард Линклейтер: Мечта это судьба».
Награду как лучший американский художественный фильм получила картина «Рождение нации» Нэйта Паркера.
Нэйт Паркер "In the words of the recently and dearly departed Alan Rickman, 'The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.' This year the winner embodies this notion singularly and accomplishes it with grand cinematic vision. Most of all, it challenges each of us to carry a riotous disposition for injustice and the system that preserve it everywhere and in doing so, it is both timeless and right on time."
Рохсаре Гаеммагами "This film really engaged us on emotional level. It made us laugh. It made us cry. It spilled ground on its truly extraordinary central character. Its journey is fearless, inspirational and brave."

Майлз Джорис-Пейрафит "To acknowledge a film we feel embodies the spirit of independence that Sundance represents. It's also a film that harkens the arrival of a bold, first time director with a command of their craft. We find much to admire in this remarkable reworking of the traditional coming of age narrative, we will eagerly await the next vision meets creator."
Heidi Brandenburg, Mathew Orzel Best Debut Feature: "This film impresses us because of the tenacity of the filmmakers in staying with the story of many years. This film was beautiful, raw and had incredible tension."
Чад Хэртиган "We are thrilled to honor an intimate original script that had us all utterly charmed and smiling like goons by placing the protagonist in an alien landscape and watching him flounder. This writer shown the light the experience of the outsider and the human connection that sustain us using the ancient art of humor."
Nina Gantz "This film takes us deep into a man's memories and his psyche as it contemplates suicide. It is high concept and emotional but it really is a gorgeous tragedy about the all-consuming power of love. We felt the characters and sets are so exquisitely rendered so tactile that we want it to just reach into the screen and hug the main character."
Кэлвин Ридер "This is the shortest film we watched but it stuck with us the longest and we love the director's restraint in the making of this film and his literal ass out insanity."
Maïmouna Doucouré "Frame for frame, scene for scene, this story unfolds beautifully. The director definitely draws us into many points of view within a family in a midst of a crisis but its her sensitive portrayal of an eight year old girl and the emotional impact on her and her father that won us over. This piece exhibits excellence in writing and directing. It's a staggering debut that leaves us eager to see more from her."
Sol Friedman "This is a doc with a very very simple hook about a woman who decides to eat bacon for the first time at 90 years old. And that simple idea blossoms into this exploration of faith, obedience, and even the power of the internet; And it pairs this no nonsense narration with half a dozen different cells of quirky animation that we just loved."
Ondrej Hudecek Best Direction: "This is a bloody period piece that ties together huge panoramas and minimalist animation; the direction and cinematography, which this filmmaker also did himself, is flawlessly inventive and clever."

Грейс Гловицки Outstanding Performance: "This is to an actress who plays a girlfriend who may or may not be having an emotional affair with her gay bestfriend. What we are definitely certain of is that this actress is a brave and fearless talent and we are not choosing that because this movie has unhinged or fake orgasm scene."
Джим Каммингс "...a one shot monologue about a man melting down is a mini masterpiece of writing, directing and acting. This filmmaker is a real discovery. We have no idea who you are but the three of us left the theater and stalked your imdb page."
