"The 2026 Festival will serve as a meaningful tribute to Robert Redford and his vision that has inspired generations of artists and redefined cinema around the world. The Festival will be held from January 22–February 1, 2026, in person in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah. Select talks will take place at the Egyptian Theatre, a landmark venue with a long-standing connection to the Festival.
Robert Redford’s dedication to the power of storytelling shaped independent cinema. Sundance Institute was created to nurture artists while the Sundance Film Festival was built to provide a space for works to find their audiences. In honor of his memory, a commemorative screening of Downhill Racer (released in 1969) will be presented, his first independent film and a passion project that was his catalyst for the creation of Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival."
The Sundance Film Festival is an annual independent film festival organized by the Sundance Institute. It is the largest independent film festival in the United States and held in Park City, Utah, each January.
The festival began in September 1978 in Salt Lake City, Utah when actor/director (and Utah resident) Robert Redford was appointed the first chairman of the festival board. In 1980 the committee changed the venue to nearby Park City, hoping to attract more people by hosting the event at a ski resort in winter. By the early 1990s, the festival had developed a reputation for jump-starting the careers of American independent filmmakers, including the Coen brothers, Steven Soderbergh, and Quentin Tarantino. The festival shows approximately 200 films during its 10-day run and offers prizes in several categories of competition. In addition to screening films, the Sundance Film Festival hosts panel discussions, workshops, musical events, and parties for the attendees, who include both industry insiders and the filmgoing public.
Sundance is considered to be an elite festival and is the largest, as well as the most distiguished event in Park City.
