Patrons hit Sundance Film Festival's final shows

While the schedule was set through Sunday in Salt Lake and at the Sundance Resort, Park City programming included several time slots that added additional screening of films such as the stranger-than-fiction documentary that explores the mystery of asphalt tiles that have shown up on busy streets in east coast cities in the US and in South America with a message about resurrection, life on Saturn, playwright David Mamet and hijacked local news broadcasts and shortwave radio. "Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles," won the documentary directing award for Jon Foy for his genuine urban mystery. It will probably inspire copycats worldwide.

Many of the films from the festival will be available to the general public after companies purchased the films. More than two dozen films were reported to be sold during the 10-day festival.
