The Sundance Film Festival is considering new host cities for its future editions, with Louisville being a finalist alongside cities like Atlanta, Boulder, Cincinnati, and Santa Fe. Sundance's potential move follows a history of hosting the festival in Park City, Utah, since its inception in 1985 and is part of a broader evaluation of host city options for 2027 and beyond. Various cities, including Park City/Salt Lake City and Cincinnati, are vying to become the festival's new home, with finalists being assessed based on infrastructure, event capabilities, and alignment with Sundance's values of equity and sustainability. The decision on the 2027 host city is expected to be announced after thorough site evaluations, while the festival's leadership explores new partnerships and opportunities for growth in different locations.
