PARK CITY, Utah — The pandemic has transformed the annual Sundance Film Festival into a largely virtual event, but it has also reshaped many of the films that will unspool there.

The wide majority of Sundance’s films were shot before the arrival of COVID-19.

But there are numerous films that managed the seemingly impossible feat of making a movie through the crisis.

Sundance will supply the fullest look yet of moviemaking under the pandemic.

Even in an independent film world predicated on a can-do spirit, the results are often striking for their resourcefulness.

Sundance gets underway Thursday.
