SALT LAKE CITY, UT – January 18, 2018 – Stella Artois will bring Café Artois to the 2018 Sundance Film Festival to host discussions and celebrations that honor those using the power of film to inspire social change. From cast parties to panels livestreamed on Deadline.com, Café Artois will shine a spotlight on female-led stories, casts and filmmakers to underscore the brand’s commitment to supporting women in the film industry. Café Artois will also host dedicated events in partnership with Women In Film to celebrate those pushing forward the mission for inclusion and gender parity in Hollywood.
“We are thrilled to be back in Park City as Official Sponsors of the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, and to be able to use this opportunity to inspire attendees to join us in making a difference,” said Carolyn Zwiener, Brand Director, Stella Artois. “We have long believed that film is a powerful medium that can spark movements and lead to social change, which is why we are proud to support the filmmakers who are using their craft to make an impact.”
"Women In Film is enormously proud that for 32 years we have enabled talented women filmmakers to complete their films and helped to bring their stories to the attention of the world," said Women In Film Executive Director Kirsten Schaffer. "And now with the generous support of Stella Artois, we can award even more grants to help women achieve their goals and dreams as filmmakers."
