Sundance Moving to Boulder, Colorado in 2027


The Sundance Film Festival will relocate to Boulder, ending a decades-long run in Park City.

The city has earned the nickname “People’s Republic of Boulder,” which one popular tourism site attributes to “unique character, progressive values and engaged citizenry.” It’s known as eco-friendly and open to artists and countercultures. Over the years, it has hosted the premieres of films like “Reservoir Dogs,” “Napoleon Dynamite,” “Sex, Lies and Videotape,” and “Little Miss Sunshine” that ignited the indie revolution of the ’90s and early aughts. Studio executives and agents have been frustrated by the high cost of sending people to Park City, while some locals have grown disenchanted with the influx of fans and press into their tiny hamlet.
