Though the festival is not definitely leaving Park City, Utah, after 2026, it has begun the process of exploring other host cities.

Rumors of the Sundance Film Festival’s possible exit from its longtime home in Park City, Utah, rolled throughout the event earlier this year. Now the nonprofit Sundance Institute, which puts on the event, has announced it is starting the process of exploring a potential new destination for as early as the 2027 festival.

' The statement added, 'The Institute is making sure that inclusivity and sustainability are always at the forefront of the festival experience, while preserving the festival’s key mission and responsibility: discovering and supporting independent storytellers and introducing their work to new audiences.' Founded by Robert Redford in 1980, Sundance Institute recently was shaken by the departure of Chief Executive Joana Vicente after just 2½ years in the post.
