Mayor Nann Worel’s Statement on the Future of the Sundance Film Festival

“When the Sundance Film Festival first came to Park City in 1985, it was buoyed by a tight knit and passionate group of individuals who worked together to provide a voice for independent storytellers that became impactful beyond anyone’s imagination.  

The same could be said about Park City; 40 years ago, we were just starting to realize what this place could become. As Sundance grew, so did we — into a world-class mountain town that welcomes the world year-round. 

We appreciate our partnership with Sundance, and we want the Festival to remain here for another 40 years. We will not be alone in the effort to ensure that Utah remains host to diverse new voices from around the globe. With gratitude to the thousands of volunteers, our dedicated workforce, our residents, and the passion of our visitor and resident film lovers — we will work collaboratively with all our state and local partners on next steps.”
