Doc Talk Podcast Unpacks Crisis Plaguing Film Festivals, Sundance Inviting Bids To Ditch Park City


Listen to Deadline's 'Doc Talk' podcast co-hosted by Ridley Scott. This week they unpack the crisis plaguing film festivals and Sundance move from Park City.

Doc Talk’s guests question the rollout of that announcement, coming so close to the sudden resignation of Sundance Institute CEO Joana Vicente, who stepped down in March. Jacobson says the way Sundance is dangling the opportunity to host the festival smacks of Amazon, which in 2017 encouraged cities to open their wallets to bid on a second company headquarters. Doc Talk, a 2024 Webby Awards honoree, is co-hosted by Oscar winner John Ridley and Matt Carey, Deadline’s documentary editor.
