The Sundance Film Festival is the most prestigious independent film festival in the world. Founded in 1978 and developed under Robert Redford's vision, Sundance has long been the launchpad for voices that reshape cinema — and culture.
Each year, thousands of filmmakers, actors, executives, journalists, and cultural tastemakers descend on a single city for ten days of premieres, panels, parties, and deals. Careers are launched. Films are sold. Moments are made.
"Sundance doesn't just screen films. It creates the cultural conversation around what stories matter."
For decades, that conversation happened in Park City, Utah. But in 2027, everything changes. Sundance is establishing a permanent new home — and it's choosing Boulder, Colorado.
