PARK CITY, Utah — A report claims the Sundance Film Festival, one of Utah's most popular annual events, is looking to possibly relocate out of the state and is already fielding bids from other cities. However, representatives for the festival denied the report or that any move is in the works.
The article, which reported the festival is contracted to remain in Park City through 2026, went as far as to mention Santa Fe, New Mexico as being a possible future site. "Sundance Institute is not exploring new locations for the Festival. The Festival is based in Utah and we look forward to everyone joining us there January 18-28 for the 40th edition of the Sundance Film Festival," the spokesperson wrote.
Held in Utah since its beginnings in the late 70s, Sundance is a major source of revenue for the state, pumping a reported $100+ million into the economy each year. With star-studded screenings and parties, the festival is a major event for filmmakers, as well as actors, actresses and producers.
