Community Programs

Engaging Community Audiences through Independent Film, Music, and Theatre.

Sundance Institute hosts a series of community programs both year-round and at the annual Sundance Film Festival. These free screenings and discussions as well as student and artist interactions are open to the public and offer a great way to see the depth of support we give to our artists. Last year, more than 25,000 Utah Residents participated in the Institute’s community programs to see Documentary Fund supported Camp Victory, Official Sundance Film Festival Selection Rocket Science, cult classic The Blair Witch Project, and Sundance Film Festival Audience Award winner Once. See the Sundance Institute Presents page for more information.
