Civil rights historical investigation Descendant, vulcanologist romance Fire Of Love, Russian opposition leader profile Navalny, eco-activism film TheTerritory, Sinead O’Connor profile Nothing Compares, and nature documentary All That Breathes premiered at Sundance 2022.
They are distributed in the US by Netflix, Neon, HBO Max, National Geographic, Showtime, and Sideshow/Submarine Deluxe, respectively.

The films will advance to the final round of voting for the 34th Annual Producers Guild Awards on February 25 2023. Each selection is in the process of being vetted for individual producer eligibility
