After 40 years in Utah, the Sundance Film Festival is relocating to Boulder, Colorado, citing a need for inclusivity and growth amid changing political climates. The festival's decision follows the announcement of a controversial state law banning specific flag displays, including LGBTQ+ Pride flags, leading organizers to seek a more welcoming environment. Boulder offers a blend of urban charm and access to nature, providing a fitting setting for the festival's future, according to Sundance officials. Utah's governor expressed regret over the decision, emphasizing that Sundance would be missed and urging them to reconsider their choice.
"Sundance has outgrown Park City; Boulder's charm and access to nature perfectly align with our long-term vision for inclusivity and expansion."
"Boulder is a tech town, a college town, an arts town, and a mountain town. With 100,000 people, it offers us space to expand."
