Could the Sundance Film Festival be coming to Cincinnati?

–

For almost 40 years now, the Sundance Film festival has famously been hosted in Park City, Utah….by 2027, there may be a shake-up. The director of the festival said the move has been prompted by the contract it holds with Park City, being up for renewal.

The film festival opened a small window of 2 weeks, where other cities interested in hosting the festival were able to submit their proposals. The list has been paired down to 6 cities:

-Cincinnati, OH

-Louisville, KY

-Boulder, CO

-Atlanta, GA

-Santa Fe, NM

-Park City, UT

Film Cincinnati has been a proponent of making Cincinnati the go-to community for movies, hosting the film festival would help bolster that position. Just this past weekend, the new Superman film closed down Lytle Tunnel in order to film scenes for the movie.

The Sundance Institute, founded by Robert Redford in 1981, which took over operations of the US Film Festival that had been running since 1978 in Salt Lake City/Park City, Utah. The Festival was officially renamed the Sundance Film Festival in 1991.
