And then there were three.
In a Sept. 12 press release, the Sundance Institute announced the top three candidates to host the future of the Sundance Film Festival. Boulder made the cut. The other two candidates are Cincinnati, Ohio, and Salt Lake City/Park City, Utah.
The announcement marks the final phase of the selection process, which began earlier this year when Sundance launched the Request for Proposal process to host the festival for 10 years starting in 2027.
The future location of the Sundance Film Festival will be announced after the 2025 film festival, which will take place Jan. 23 through Feb. 2 in Utah.
