Soros Fund moves to Sundance

After months of negotiations between the Open Society Institute and the Sundance Institute, the New York-based Soros Documentary Fund has officially changed hands and become the Sundance Documentary Fund, now based in Beverly Hills, California. Speculation about the move began in May 2001, when Soros Doc Fund director Diane Weyermann announced her decision to head up the Sundance Institute's International Program. Under the new agreement, she remains the fund's chief administrator.
