Sundance Film Festival Moving Ahead as Planned Amid L.A. Fires: ‘Coming Together Can Be Healing and Catalytic’
Sundance will unfold as planned amid the devastating wildfires that continue to burn around Los Angeles.
Several industry events in the Los Angeles area, such as the Critics Choice Awards, BAFTA Tea Party and announcements for SAG, WGA and PGA nominations, were either postponed or canceled in wake of the devastation. “Over the past few days, we’ve had many conversations with artists, volunteers, industry/press, trustees, donors, partners, and staff,” Sundance’s acting CEO Amanda Kelso and festival director Eugene Hernandez said in a statement. Premieres on the 2025 slate include Bill Condon’s “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” an adaptation of the stage musical featuring Diego Luna, Tonatiuh and Jennifer Lopez; Alison Brie and Dave Franco’s “Together,” a horror story about a codependent couple pushed to the brink; “Train Dreams” starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones; and Andrew Ahn’s “The Wedding Banquet,” a queer, green-card-marriage romantic comedy with Bowen Yang and Lily Gladstone.
