Few people have an indie movie pedigree like Virginia Pearce.
PARK CITY — In homage to the 46th edition of Utah's own Sundance Film Festival that started this week in Park City and Salt Lake City, I asked Virginia Pearce to rank her favorite Sundance movies.It was like asking a grandmother to tell me which of her grandchildren was her favorite.
"A lot of these might not be on the scale of 'best movies ever made,'" she adds, "but it was the experience of seeing them in the theater, surrounded by a full theater of people just overwhelmed by the story, that makes them stand out."She remembers vividly "Being there in the library at midnight where people really thought it was real."
"Whale Rider" did that in 2002. One minute: icy Park City sidewalks and freezing cold temperatures. Next minute: "You're with the Maori community in New Zealand," immersed in the life of an "incredible little girl" whose quest is to become the village leader. "It made people feel real intensely about what should be happening, and real action came from it," says Virginia. "I think that is what a good documentary does: It tells a compelling story and also creates some action behind it."
