"Sundance Film Festival Considers New Host City for 2027 and Beyond"
The Sundance Film Festival is seeking a new permanent host city starting in 2027, inviting pitches from locations across the United States. While Park City, Utah will remain the festival's host for the next two years, the organization is exploring options to sustainably serve its community and enhance accessibility and inclusion. With a record 17,000 film submissions last year, the need for improved infrastructure and easier access to airports and modern theaters is evident. The festival's contribution to the state economy is significant, but concerns over environmental impact and local disruptions have also been raised. Requests for information from potential hosts will be accepted starting in April, with a final host city to be announced by the end of 2024 or early 2025.
