Festival Format for SIO Attendees
The 2023 Sundance Film Festival will include in-person and online attendance options for SIO members, and we look forward to seeing the professional community back on the mountain! In addition to the return of in-person Press & Industry screenings in Park City, the full Festival program will be offered online to attendees accredited through SIO, and encore screenings of award-winning films will be shown both in theaters and online.
In-Person Festival
All feature films, Short Film Programs, and Indie Episodic selections will premiere first in Festival theaters in Utah, followed by repeat public screenings throughout the Festival dates. Feature films in competition will each have a Press & Industry screening, usually within 24 hours of their Park City premiere. All other films will be scheduled for P&I screenings as space allows. P&I screenings run January 19-27 at the Holiday Village Cinemas and Park Avenue Theatre.
Online Screenings
While only a portion of the Festival program will be available online to public audiences, professional attendees accredited through SIO enjoy access to all feature films online with no geoblocking or capacity limitations. The timing and duration of each feature film’s online screening window is dependent on the viewer’s pass type. Short Film Programs and Indie Episodic selections will be viewable online for the duration of the Festival. Just like in-person P&I screenings, online screenings for the professional audience will not include Q&As or audience award voting. New for 2023, all SIO pass types have VOD viewing access with no ticket selection or advance reservations required.
