Dear Sundance Community,
Hello from New York! I've just returned from Utah, our home state, where we celebrated some of the films from last year's Festival with free screenings for our local community. Sharing these films with audiences has left me even more energized for next year's Festival, which will take place January 18-28, 2024.
This is a busy time at Sundance, as we're laying the foundation for the 2024 Festival - our 40th edition (and my first as Festival Director). This is also a challenging moment as artists fight for a more equitable entertainment industry. We're more passionate than ever about the importance of celebrating and protecting fiercely independent voices; finding, nurturing and supporting a diverse roster of art and artists; as well as spotlighting work that can entertain us while it challenges and moves us. As we plan for next year, it has been invigorating and inspiring to reflect on the history of this great Festival and dig in with colleagues to shape a sustainable vision for the future that builds and embraces audiences from all walks of life.
On behalf of our CEO Joana Vicente and the entire Sundance team, I'm proud to invite you to join us for the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Below are a few initial details that we hope will inform your planning.
