Sundance returns to Park City, Utah – and also to a laptop or VR device near you

The 2022 Sundance Film Festival is returning to the snowy mountains of Utah next month, but it is not abandoning screens near you.

After transitioning to a virtual festival in 2021 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival announced Thursday that they will hold in-person screenings in Park City (its traditional home base) and elsewhere in Utah, and at select satellite cinemas across the country, as well as make virtual screenings available to stream across the U.S. (and, in some cases, internationally) via Sundance's digital platform.

The festival, one of the premier showcases for independent film, takes place January 20-30, 2022.
