"It's hard to believe that an era is going to end this month. After January 2026, the Sundance Film Festival, still one of the key events on any film-lover's calendar, will be leaving Park City, Utah, and heading to Boulder, Colorado, for the foreseeable future. Going into this final Utah Sundance, there was a question of whether it would be a deserved celebration of what was accomplished or an understandable wake for what's being lost."
"The jury is still out on whether the tone will be somber or joyous on the ground-my bet is on a fascinating combination of the two-but the program looks undeniably impressive. Last year's Sundance saw the premieres of " Train Dreams," " Sorry, Baby," " Rebuilding," " Seeds," " BLKNWS: Terms and Conditions," " All That's Left of You," " The Perfect Neighbor," " If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," and many more films that were considered among the best of 2025."
Sundance Film Festival will leave Park City, Utah, and relocate to Boulder, Colorado after January 2026, ending its Utah era. The final Utah edition mixes celebratory and somber tones while presenting an impressive program. Last year's Sundance premiered acclaimed films that ranked among the best of 2025. Extensive coverage of the 2026 program will include reviews by Robert Daniels, Monica Castillo, Peyton Robinson, Zachary Lee, Marya E. Gates, and additional critics beginning Friday morning, January 23. The lineup features films such as Chasing Summer, which follows Jamie returning to her Texas hometown after losing her job and boyfriend, directed by Josephine Decker and written and starring Iliza Shlesinger.
