The Sundance Film Festival will no longer host any in-person events.
, organizers opted to keep virtual attendance for future editions of the festival, even as they moved forward with plans for a semi-return to form this year with in-person premieres, screenings, galas, and talks.
Unfortunately, with cases of the Omicron variant surging, organizers decided that they could not, in good conscience, “knowingly put our staff and community at risk.” “Despite the most ambitious protocols, the Omicron variant with its unexpectedly high transmissibility rates is pushing the limits of health safety, travel and other infrastructures across the country,” they said in a recent statement. “The festival’s in-person Utah elements will be moving online this year.
For what it’s worth, that “magic and energy” is certainly represented in the lineup for the festival, which will still run from January 20 to January 30 as planned.
