PARK CITY, UTAH - Sundance Institute shared details of their live, free summer events slate today, with screenings and collaborative engagements across a wide range of events in Park City and Salt Lake County, an invigoration of the organization's deep local roots. For the Locals events will include a weekend-long film program and a series of partnerships across organizations such as Arts Council Park City + Summit County, Ballet West, Christian Center of Park City, Craft Lake City, Dragonfli Media, Park City Film, Salt Lake City Arts Council, THE BLOCKS and Utah Film Center.
The focal point of the Institute's summer For the Locals program will be the weekend of July 14-17. They will showcase a diverse set of award-winning films from the 2021 Sundance Film Festival at Salt Lake City's Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre, Redwood Drive-In Theatre, Sugar Space Arts Warehouse, and Utah Olympic Park. Other events announced today include a curated selection of shorts, VR projects, and feature films that will be featured at Park City's Latino Arts Festival and Salt Lake City's Living Traditions Festival, Open Streets, Damn These Heels Queer Film Festival, and the Craft Lake City DIY Festival.
These community events and collaborations are led by Sundance Institute's Utah Community Program team, Eva Rinaldi (Director) and Mate B. Ochoa (Senior Manager). Through in-person and online experiences, locals can participate in year-round public programs and artist opportunities that open the exchange of ideas while amplifying the work of regional art organizations.
We're eager to gather in-person again, in creative yet safe arrangements that allow us to collectively celebrate independent stories, said Rinaldi. Working alongside film teams, our programming team, and our many on-the-ground partners and advocates, it's been a pleasure to assemble this lineup and devise innovative ways to get these artists' projects in front of audiences.
Sundance Institute's Utah Community Programs are supported by Principal Sponsor Zions Bank; Major Supporters State of Utah, Utah Division of Arts & Museums, and University of Utah Health; and Community Supporters Salt Lake County Zoo, Arts and Parks (ZAP) Program; Peggy Bergmann; Summit County Recreation, Arts, and Parks (RAP) Tax; George S. and Dolores Dor Eccles Foundation; Salt Lake County Community Services; and Salt Lake City Arts Council.
