Sundance Film Festival 2023: Opening highlights

After the COVID-19 pandemic forced it go completely virtual for the past two years, the 2023 Sundance Film Festival — one of the leading showcases for independent narrative and documentary films — returned Thursday with in-person screenings to kick off the festival in Park City, Utah.

The showcase, which runs for 11 days, will also make virtual screenings available across the U.S. via Sundance's digital platform from Jan. 24-30.

The festival includes 110 feature-length films from 28 countries, most of which are world premieres.
