Episode 1: Sex, Lies and Videotape - Steven Soderbergh

Welcome to A History of Film Festivals in 100 Movies. I'm excited to share our first episode - Episode 1 - Sex, Lies and Videotape, directed by Steven Soderbergh. If you ask industry professionals, like myself, who've been in the business for 35 years or more, they will agree this film may have had the greatest impact on the state of independent film, when it hit the festival circuit in 1989. We're going to explore how and why in this episode. The story of how this movie had such an influence is forever linked to the film festival world itself, and two of it's top events. Cannes and Sundance.
