Sundance Film Festival 2026 — Jan 22–Feb 1, 2026 — Park City, Utah
The 2026 Sundance Film Festival returns to Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, for what will be its final edition in the Beehive State before relocating to Boulder, Colorado in 2027, closing a decades-long chapter of independent cinema history in Utah. The festival’s transition marks both a celebration of its Utah legacy and an exciting new chapter for one of the world’s most influential platforms for original storytelling.
As in past years, Sundance will showcase a diverse slate of films across genres, including documentaries, narrative features, episodic projects, and shorts, with more than 90 feature films and over 50 short films selected from around the world. Nearly 40% of directors featured in the 2026 program are making their feature-length debut, underlining Sundance’s ongoing commitment to emerging voices in global cinema.
Among the most anticipated entries in the 2026 lineup are films that blend star power with bold independent sensibilities, including The Moment, a new A24 film conceived by and starring Charli XCX that explores the chaos of fame and creativity in the pop culture landscape, and Cookie Queens, a documentary executive produced by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle through Archewell Productions that offers a character-driven look at ambition and community.
Other notable works include Antiheroine, a raw documentary chronicling the life of rock icon Courtney Love, alongside projects by established and emerging talents such as Olivia Wilde and Gregg Araki, spanning narrative, documentary, and experimental forms.
Beyond film screenings, Sundance 2026 will feature panels, Q&A sessions, and special events that contextualize the works within broader cultural and industry conversations. A Park City Legacy program will honor the festival’s long heritage in Utah through archival screenings and tributes to founder Robert Redford, reinforcing the event’s role as a key reference point for independent storytelling.
For filmmakers, distributors, and content executives, the Sundance Film Festival 2026 remains a key calendar date, where new talent is discovered and independent cinema continues to shape trends across the global film and television marketplace.
