Boulder, Colorado, to be new home for the Sundance film festival


The festival, started by Robert Redford in 1978, will move from its previous home in Park City, Utah, for 2027

A press release claims that Boulder offers “small-town charm with an engaged community, distinctive natural beauty, and a vibrant arts scene”. This move will ensure that the Festival continues its work of risk taking, supporting innovative storytellers, fostering independence, and entertaining and enlightening audiences.” A state senator, Daniel McCay, has been targeting the community and the festival itself, claiming it promotes porn and “alternative lifestyles” which do not fit with Utah’s values.
