Sundance Film Festival A to Z

Edited by Todd Oldham. AMMO (Ingram, dist.), $24.95 (56p) ISBN 978-1-62326-002-6

While this striking ode to independent cinema uses an abecedarian board book format, the films it covers are for an older crowd. More than 30 years of Sundance Film Festival movies are featured within as 27 artists contributing wildly diverse interpretations of several of them. A few names will be familiar to children’s book aficionados: Patrick Hruby offers geometric portraits of Lily Tomlin and Stanley Tucci on the T spread, and Christopher Silas Neal closes things out with Zebrahead and Zidane. As iconoclastic a collection as the movies, directors, and actors it celebrates. (June)
