Biggest indie festival. Sundance is the largest independent film festival in the United States, where filmmakers who don't work for big movie studios get to show their films to huge audiences.

Held in Utah. Every year, the festival takes place in Park City, Utah, a snowy mountain town that becomes packed with filmmakers, actors, and movie lovers from around the world.

Massive viewership. In 2023, over 423,000 people watched films at Sundance, either in person or online, making it a truly enormous event for independent cinema.

Launch pad for talent. Many famous directors and actors had their big break at Sundance before going on to make major Hollywood movies that millions of people watched.

Run by the Sundance Institute. The festival is organized by the Sundance Institute, which was founded to support independent artists and help them tell their unique stories.
