PARK CITY, UTAH, March 19, 2024 - Save the date to be the first to see next year's independent films and projects that entertain, spark cultural conversation, and make cinematic history! Today the nonprofit Sundance Institute unveils the dates for the 2025 Sundance Film Festival taking place on January 23-February 2, 2025 in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah.
While the next Sundance Film Festival is still 10 months away, we're already laying the foundation for the 2025 edition, looking ahead to sharing a new group of artists' work with audiences at the start of next year, said Eugene Hernandez, Director, Sundance Film Festival and Public Programming. My first Festival as Director was filled with so many moving, inspiring stories of discovery with emerging and established artists from around the world connecting with festivalgoers. Today I invite you to circle our upcoming 2025 dates on your calendar, January 23 to February 2. And that photo isn't photoshopped! At the end of the 2024 Festival, I really climbed atop the marquee of Park City's historic Egyptian Theater to change the dates in anticipation of 2025! Stay tuned for more and filmmakers look out for our call for submissions later this spring. See you there!
Further details about the upcoming 2025 Sundance Film Festival will be shared over the coming months.
