"Get ready to update your LetterBoxd Watchlist. The Sundance Film Festival is departing Utah after this year (sorry, Lisa Barlow) and heading to Boulder, Colorado. To commemorate the festival's first 41 years in Park City, its programmers created a comprehensive watch list of the 101 definitive films that premiered at the festival and shared it with Vulture first."
"The final list is in order of year, contains only one title per artist, encompasses films that had their premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, and entailed applying various considerations to narrow it down. We would love to include every film as each and every one has made the Festival and independent film what it is, so consider this a small start to reminiscing and inspiration to craft your own Sundance Film Festival 101 Films watchlist."
Sundance Film Festival will relocate from Park City, Utah, to Boulder, Colorado after this year. Programmers compiled a 101-film watchlist to commemorate the festival's first 41 years in Park City, selecting definitive premieres that span documentaries, comedies, and acclaimed dramas. The list starts with the Coen brothers' Blood Simple (1985) and concludes with a 2025 collegiate drama from filmmaker Eva Victor. Several years are excluded (1987, 1997, 2008, 2024). Programmers limited selections to one title per filmmaker, forcing difficult choices such as prioritizing one Richard Linklater film over Before Sunrise. The full list appears at sundance.org for viewing.
