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).
SIO Passes
SIO passes are designed for attendees to enjoy the energy and community of in-person screenings, with an online “catch up” window in the second half of the Festival. A small number of online-only passes will also be available. SIO First-Half Express passes include in-person screenings January 18-23 as well as online screenings January 24-28, and SIO Second-Half Express passes encompass the hybrid Festival concurrently, January 24-28. SIO Passes for the full duration of the Festival (including the popular Industry Pass for P&I screenings) will also be for sale. Complete details about SIO pass types, benefits, and pricing, will be listed here prior to when Early Registration opens on Tuesday, September 26.
