Sundance Industry Office

Since its debut in 2005, the Sundance Industry Office (SIO) has provided accredited members with the necessary tools and resources to navigate one of the world’s most dynamic festival markets and further a range of creative goals. Each year, more than 1700 members of the independent film industry attend the Sundance Film Festival from all over the world. 

Prior to the Festival, our members have the opportunity to register to purchase SIO Festival passes and ticket packages. These are the only products available for sale that include access to Press & Industry screenings. During the Festival, members continue to enjoy exclusive services through our office at Festival Headquarters and online.

Thank you for joining us for Sundance 2024!

Member resources from the 2024 Festival remain available (linked below) for SIO members.

Festival Format for SIO Attendees

In-Person Festival

All feature films, Short Film Programs, and Episodic selections will premiere first in Festival theaters in Utah, followed by repeat public screenings throughout the Festival dates. Feature films will also have a Press & Industry screening, normally scheduled within 24 hours of their Park City premiere. P&I screenings are an excellent opportunity for professional attendees to see films in sections like Premieres and Midnight, which are not guaranteed to screen online, as well as competition films (which have both physical and virtual screenings). P&I screenings run January 18-25 at the Holiday Village Cinemas.

Online Screenings
Feature films in competition sections (US Dramatic, US Documentary, World Cinema Dramatic, World Cinema Documentary, NEXT) will be available online for SIO-accredited industry viewers. Short films, Episodic selections, and additional features may opt in for online screenings. Professional industry viewers have access to online screenings from Wednesday, January 24 (one day earlier than general public viewers) through Sunday, January 28. Online screenings are available to SIO viewers on demand for the full five days of the online Festival (one view per title per pass).
