A small group of students have also recently sent off their entry for Kid Witness News, an international documentary competition for schools.

In contrast to the snow shortage, the documentary competition, often strong, is jammed with a welcome surfeit of quality.

The documentary competition is another important festival event.

"Hi My Name is Ryan" was one of 14 films in the documentary competition.

It had several films in both the dramatic and documentary competitions.

The documentary competition is perhaps the most eclectic, and often the best, feature at Sundance.

The film was featured at the Sundance Film Festival in documentary competition.

In the documentary competition, 347 films were entered, up from 210 last year, and 15 made the cut.

Awards included those for the documentary competition, whose judges also seemed torn between conventional and innovative forms.

Piotrowska was the only European filmmaker to be granted a distinction in the documentary competition.
