Sundance 2026: A Mix of Laughs, Politics, and New Voices

Major Changes and Exciting Lineup

The Sundance Film Festival is making a significant move in 2027, relocating to Boulder, Colorado, after 44 years in Park City, Utah. Meanwhile, the 2026 lineup is shaping up to be a powerhouse of indie films, with a strong focus on comedy, as filmmakers step up to fill the gap left by major studios.

Laughs and Serious Topics

But it's not all fun and games. The festival will also tackle serious issues like politics and the environment with films such as:

• "The A. I. Doc"
• "The Lake"

Honoring Robert Redford

A special screening of "Downhill Racer" will honor the festival's late founder, Robert Redford, celebrating his legacy.

Reunions and Restored Classics

• "Little Miss Sunshine"
• "Saw"

These films will help celebrate the festival's rich history.

A Memorable Event

With 105 projects selected from 16,201 submissions, Sundance 2026 promises to be an unforgettable blend of humor, politics, and new voices.
