On October 6, 2010, the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program (DFP) and filmmakers Richard Ray Perez and Molly O’Brien are presenting a work-in-progress screening of their film, Cesar’s Last Fast with the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. This film offers a unique and very personal view of the intersection of Cesar Chavez’s faith and his activism. The project has been supported with a grant from the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program.

With Philip Seymour Hoffman’s directorial debut Jack Goes Boating scheduled to open nationwide September 23, we thought a little schooling on Mr. Hoffman’s Sundance Institute history was appropriate. In addition to Jack Goes Boating, which was in the Premieres category at the 2010 Film Festival, Philip Seymour Hoffman was an actor in Mary and Max (2009), The Savages (2007), the Park City at Midnight film Strangers with Candy (2005), Owning Mahowny (2003), Love Liza (2002), and Montana from the 1998 Film Festival.
