HP has a special place in its heart for Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, as they were gracious enough to give HP a live performance of this Oscar-winning song on a snowy January day during the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Take a look and listen.
by Lisa TuckerWW Interactive CommunicationsBesides the many people at Sundance calling themselves filmmakers, there is another genre of folks here also taking pictures. With so many celebrities on hand, there are massive amounts of photographers here taking photographs. One such person is Todd Williamson, freelance photographer working Sundance on behalf of WireImage.
I had an opportunity to see the movie, Henry Poole is Here the other day at Sundance. Before I could even blog about it, I heard that Overture Films just bought the rights to the film for a cool $3.5 million. So, it looks like everyone is going to get a chance to see this movie in your local theater. Would I recommend you do so? Well, it depends.

The 80th Annual Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday, and two performers from films featured at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival earned nods from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Congratulations to Best Actress nominee Julie Christie in “Away from Her” and Best Actress nominee Laura Linney in “The Savages”.
I didn’t go into the theater expecting The Great Buck Howard to “move” me – and it didn’t. But what it did well was entertain me for about and hour and half. And that’s a success in my book. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with a feel-good movie that has solid performances from actors I enjoy watching…

We love providing the technology and know-how to power the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. But we’re human, too. We love to do a bit of stargazing while were here.

Change is inevitable – and often welcome and needed. But some things are fine just the way they are. No single image better represents the spirit and independence of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival than festival founder Robert Redford. But Redford has change on his mind. We were lucky enough to be invited to the Opening Press Conference, and we asked Mr. Redford about change and his thoughts on inspiring creative expression…
The most satisfying aspect of attending and sponsoring the Sundance Film Festival is the opportunity to help filmmakers succeed. Year after year, directors and producers have told us about how challenging it is to get publicity and media coverage for their films. We knew we could help. So HP created the HP Broadcast Studio – a high-def, miniaturized SmartHome set that gives filmmakers a complimentary turnkey solution to record and walk away with their own interviews to share with press and publicists. See what HP Broadcast Studio hosts Arnold Say and Linda Morton had to say on day 2 of the festival:

Matthew CaldwellCreative Director, HP Newsgram[Editor's Note: Since we first filmed the exclusive duet with Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova, the film "Once" was recognized with The World Cinema Audience Award: Dramatic at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. If you haven't queued up the duet yet, we strongly encourage you to do so. And when the film hits a theater near you, we suggest you get in line as soon as possible!]
The two leads of the film, the curly-haired and witty Hansard and the shy yet complex Irglova, are a breed apart because they’re full-time musicians who were asked to star in a feature film.
Be sure to check out their exclusive and powerful performance right here …
