The UK Film Council hosted a "champagne tea" Monday afternoon in a Park City tent to honor the 19 British and Irish filmmakers who have features and shorts at Sundance. The sound system spun a steady mix of Oasis and the Beatles while partygoers nibbled on smoked salmon and chocolate-covered strawberries.
"Congratulations to you all," Claire Chapman, director of the UK Film Council's Los Angeles office, told the gathering. "For a small nation, we truly have a massive amount of talent."
Small nation? You'd think she represents the film industry of Paraguay.
