The 2003 Sundance Film Festival took place from January 16 to January 26, 2003.

Background

American Splendor, a biopic of comic-book author Harvey Pekar, won the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize while Capturing the Friedmans, a documentary about David Friedman and his family's dark secret, won the Documentary Grand Jury Prize. Other prize-winning films included The Station Agent and Thirteen. Steve Zahn and Maggie Gyllenhaal presented the awards in a ceremony televised live on the Sundance Channel.

Unseasonably warm weather attracted record numbers of attendees, among them musician Bob Dylan.
