Sundance 2027 Lands in Boulder with Downtown and Campus Venues

The Sundance Film Festival announced its 2027 edition will be held in Boulder from Jan 21–31, centered in downtown and CU Boulder campuses with venues across the city (including Boulder High, Boulder Theater, Chautauqua Auditorium, Dairy Arts Center, Macky Auditorium and more) and talks at Canyon Theater and Old Main. The centralized, Boulder-only setup aims to streamline logistics versus Park City, though hotel capacity remains limited; locals will have easier access to screenings after premiere-night tickets.

Old-School Pickpocket Holds Ground in a Digital New York

Beandrea July’s Sundance review praises Noah Segan’s The Only Living Pickpocket in New York for John Turturro’s restrained, masterful portrayal of an aging pickpocket, its authentic New York setting across boroughs, and its focus on analogue craft amid a digital economy. Supported by strong turns from Tatiana Maslany, Steve Buscemi, and Jamie Lee Curtis, the film treats New York as a living character, avoids graphic violence, and argues old and new ways can coexist. Premiered at Sundance and currently seeking U.S. distribution; Grade: A.
