The inaugural Sundance Film Festival in Boulder, Colorado, will take place from January 21-31, 2027, festival heads said as they announced the official venues.
Festival screenings and events will play to Boulder’s strengths as an arts and tech hub, and a university town with a large student base. “Boulder offers a renowned creative arts and tech scene, paired with the vibrant CU Boulder students, faculty, and staff,” Eugene Hernandez, director, Sundance Film Festival and public programming, said.
The cinema venues are listed here: Boedecker Theater — Dairy Arts Center; Boulder High School Auditorium; Boulder Theater; Casey Middle School Auditorium; Chautauqua Auditorium; Cinemark Century Boulder; eTown Hall; Gordon Gamm Theater — Dairy Arts Center; Macky Auditorium Concert Hall — University of Colorado Boulder; Muenzinger Auditorium — University of Colorado Boulder; and Roe Green Theatre — University of Colorado Boulder.
Talks and festival programming will take place at Canyon Theater, Boulder Public Library District; Dairy Arts Center; eTown Hall; and Old Main — University of Colorado Boulder.
Tuesday morning’s announcement said, “The January gathering continues the festival’s enduring impact of championing original voices, forging meaningful connections, and entertaining audiences from around the world. Boulder, Colorado, will be the Sundance Film Festival’s home beginning in 2027 and beyond.”
The final Park City and Salt Lake City edition of Sundance ran from January 21-31, ending four decades of occupancy in Utah. Olivia Wilde’s satirical comedy The Invite starring Wilde, Ed Norton, Seth Rogen, and Penelope Cruz sparked the biggest on-site deal when A24 paid what was believed to be more than $10m for US rights.
One of the most acclaimed films of the festival, Beth de Araujo’s drama Josephine starring Channing Tatum, Gemma Chan, and newcomer Mason Reeves, went on to play in Competition at the Berlinale, where fledgling distributor Sumerian Pictures closed a US deal for seven figures.
