The Sundance Film Festival prepares to bid farewell to Park City, and Robert Redford
January 19, 2026
The Sundance Film Festival kicks off Thursday in Park City, Utah, marking its final year there. The festival features 90 premieres, including potential Oscar nominees and stars like Natalie Portman and Charli XCX. The festival will be bittersweet as Sundance moves forward without founder Robert Redford, who died in September, but celebrations are planned to honor his legacy with screenings of restored Sundance classics. The lineup also includes star-studded films and documentaries on celebrities and urgent topics. The festival runs through Feb. 1. Starting in 2027, the Sundance Film Festival will call Boulder, Colorado, home.
