Today the Sundance Film Festival announced the 2027 edition will make its Boulder, Colorado debut on January 21st through the 31st, making the city its new home from 2027 and beyond. 

The heralding of Sundance's Boulder Era should infuse the festival with renewed excitement, and comes with a certain curiosity how its offerings will be presented in the new setting. The 2027 Festival will feature a wide range of world premieres, compelling conversations, special events, and more—continuing the tradition of bold storytelling and celebrating independent film, championing original voices, forging meaningful connections, and entertaining audiences from around the world.

“Working closely with the Colorado community, the 2027 Sundance Film Festival is already in our sights as we build towards an exciting debut in Boulder where our programming will meet audiences next January,” said Eugene Hernandez, Director, Sundance Film Festival and Public Programming. “Nestled at the base of Colorado’s iconic Flatirons, venues across the city and CU Boulder’s campus provide an ideal setting for festival-goers from across the world to come together, revel in art, spark conversation, and create unforgettable memories. Boulder offers a renowned creative arts and tech scene, paired with the vibrant CU Boulder students, faculty, and staff. We’ll share more details in the coming months and hope you’ll join us on our journey to Boulder as we build the Sundance Film Festival’s new home.”

The Festival will bring these experiences to a variety of vibrant neighborhoods across the city allowing attendees to immerse themselves in the thriving and innovative arts landscape. Official venues for the 2027 edition are also being revealed, with some of them already announced by Sundance, as below.
