Sundance Film Festival moves to Boulder, Colorado, after over 40 years in Park City, Utah
The Sundance Film Festival will be making a move to Boulder, Colorado, in 2027 after more than 40 years in Park City, Utah, organizers announced Thursday.
"Boulder offers small-town charm with an engaged community, distinctive natural beauty, and a vibrant arts scene, making it the ideal location for the Festival to grow," the Sundance Institute said in a news release.
Sundance Institute Board Chair Ebs Burnough explained that this decision was 'informed by a detailed evaluation of the key components essential to creating our Festival.'
'We have a profound appreciation for the finalist cities and their communities — including Boulder, Colorado, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Salt Lake City, Utah — who presented overwhelmingly strong proposals and dedicated their time, passion, and commitment every step of the way," Burnough said.

Pregnant Vick Hope shows off her baby bump in a vibrant yellow and red striped mini dress as she poses for new campaign
Vick Hope looked every inch the glowing mother-to-be as she showed off her baby bump in a yellow and red striped mini dress as she posed for a new campaign. The pregnant radio host, 35, recently went on maternity leave from her BBC Radio 1 show is preparing to welcome her first child with DJ Calvin Harris, 41. But Vick has been keeping busy as she promoted Decathlon's 'Summer Tent Pledge' while getting ready for the festival season. The presenter, who loves a festival with her wedding to DJ Calvin even being Glastonbury themed, stunned in the eye-catching dress, which she styled with a denim shirt and fringed jacket. The mum-to-be left her long dark waved tresses loose and accessorised with a number of chain necklaces and gold hoop earrings. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to Daily Mail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She posed in a field surrounded by tents and pulled a camping festival trolley before carrying a 'No tent left behind' sign', referencing festivalgoers leaving their tents behind as rubbish. Discussing the campaign, Vick said: 'Whether you're dancing at Glasto, on a hilltop, or roasting marshmallows with family, your tent deserves more than one weekend of glory. 'Decathlon's Pledge is brilliant because it simplifies doing the right thing!' The 'Summer Tent Pledge' from Decathlon allows customers to get a full refund in the form of store credit for returning their tent after use. Vick, who also has a home in Ibiza, recently asked the Radio One Big Weekend crowd in Liverpool for baby name ideas. The star threw herself open to suggestions while taking to the stage with co-host Jamie Laing, 36. Vick looked sensational as she showcased her blossoming bump in a vibrant figure-hugging maxi dress with a thigh-high split. She flashed her gorgeous smile as she posed in a field surrounded by tents and pulled a camping festival trolley before carrying a, 'No tent left behind' sign' Discussing the campaign, Vick said: 'Whether you're dancing at Glasto, on a hilltop, or roasting marshmallows with family, your tent deserves more than one weekend of glory. Decathlon's Pledge is brilliant because it simplifies doing the right thing!' Chatting with the audience, Jamie said: 'Vick is about to go on maternity leave, and she wants some help with some baby names, so if you can shout some names to me.' As the huge crowd began screaming out suggestions a giggling Vick replied: 'Ok, I got it.' Vick appeared to be having the time of her life at the festival as she took to Instagram with snaps of herself enjoying with co-host Jamie. The pair caught some of the Liverpool festival's biggest acts including Mel C's surprise performance with Tom Grennan. She even had a chance to let her hair down in the BBC presenter's raised platform, where she danced with the crew. The mother-to-be also had a chance to catch up with her fellow co-presenters Arielle Free, Greg James and Lauren Layfied. She captioned the snaps: 'Final @bbcradio1 Going Home show with just the two of us for a little while, it's been such an absolute blast! 'Thank you for the love and the laughs these last few months sweet sweet @jamielaing, all the team, and of course our amazing listeners. 'Legends, the lot of ya.' Jamie also sent his good wishes ahead of the momentous occasion and said: 'To the sweetest soul, who goes on maternity leave today - what a blast we've had.' It comes after Vick asked the Radio One Big Weekend crowd in Liverpool for baby name ideas last week before heading off on maternity leave The presenter threw herself open to suggestions while taking to the stage with co-host Jamie Laing, 36 Vick and her partner Calvin own several homes, including a farm in Ibiza and a 10-acre estate in the Cotswolds. Vick and Calvin are reported to be in the process of building a mansion on their Cotswolds estate, which is reported to become their main place of residence. The couple tied the knot in September 2023 and only just announced their impending arrival, choosing to keep their relationship largely out of the spotlight. Vick stressed on air that she didn't want to make a big deal out of her pregnancy. She said: 'This is not an announcement, by the way. People keep saying are you going to announce, are you going to announce? And I'm like, I'm not the King. 'I'll be honest, I struggle with anything that's personal or private. I will tell you a story about eating a kebab out of a bin, that's one thing. 'But there's a line and so I've never been that big on sharing. Particularly because I've just been enjoying this privately and quietly.'

Glastonbury Festival hits out at luxury trend they ‘absolutely don't condone'
The Pop Up Hotel is a luxury accommodation provider that sits close to the main Glastonbury Festival site, offering a far fancier standard of stay than on Worthy Farm The organisers of Glastonbury Festival have criticised a luxury travel firm that is whisking deep-pocketed revellers to the famously eco-conscious event via helicopter. Last week 'Glastonbury insiders' go-to luxury glamping retreat, The Pop-Up Hotel ' revealed its new plans for the summer bash. Opening up on June 25, the off-festival campsite claims it will "deliver the perfect balance of relaxing rejuvenation", "an array of luxurious upgrades and carefully curated wellness experiences designed to pamper guests like never before." Walk ten minutes from the Festival's Gate D and you'll find yourself on a paddock style campsite among the country's elite, who say 'no' to portaloos and mud, and 'yes' to 24-hour hot showers, flushing toilets, a spa, a Sephora beauty salon, pool parties, award winning chef Max La Manna, samples from Korean skincare brand Beauty of Joseon, vitamin IV drips and luxury accommodation. The most luxurious of the lodgings is a Tipi Tenthouse Suite, which costs £28,999 for six guests. Between the lanterns, plush furnishings and en-suites, there is room for another four to sleep, but it will cost you extra. READ MORE: 'I tried the UK's new high-tech £200million trains with underfloor heating' This year the Pop Up Hotel has introduced yet another way to splash the cash. "Hotel guests can beat the worst of the traffic and fly into Glastonbury like rock royalty. By parking at easily-accessible and conveniently-located Hartham Park Estate or Homewood House Hotel, guests can hop on a 15-minute helicopter transfer for the final 30 miles to Glastonbury, bypassing the gridlocked traffic below. Heli-Hop return flights start from £1,399 per person," the Pop Up Hotel announced last week. Although there are very few helicopters in the air compared to other aircraft, they can be a significant source of local air and noise pollution, particularly when hovering and landing. Some can emit 500kg of CO2 in just a one-hour flight. Glastonbury Festival, which has a long association with eco-campaigns and groups such as Water Aid and Greenpeace, has criticised the helicopter offering. "This offsite accommodation provider has no relationship to us, so we cannot control how people arrive there. We absolutely do not condone the use of helicopters. Here at Glastonbury Festival, we encourage people to arrive by public transport or to lift share if they do decide to drive," a spokesperson for the festival said. Since first welcoming in a small band of hippy punters to their dairy farm just over 50 years ago, the Eavis family have seen Glastonbury grow into the biggest in Europe in terms of cultural impact, with around 200,000 punters slipping on their wellies and heading for the Somerset site each year. It has also come in for criticism from environmental campaigners, who argue that the mass movement of attendees and acts from across the world to a remote patch of English countryside that invariably gets trampled and strewn with litter is hard to square with Glastonbury's environmentalist message. Similarly, many of the seasoned festival goers who remember when entrance to the hippy-gathering could be secured for a £1 and a bag of crisp apples have found issue with ever-rising ticket prices (£378 this year, up from £265 in 2019), and the rise of offsite luxury lodgings. The Festival has no control over accommodation providers such as the Pop Up Hotel that tend to charge many times the price of admission for a comfortable place to stay while not securing their guests a ticket. A spokesperson for The Pop-Up Hotel told the Mirror: "Helicopter transfers are offered as part of our lineup of services for hotel guests. Every year, we have a very small proportion of guests who arrive by helicopter. The majority come by car, coach or train."

Fans can't wait for this wild rom-com about BDSM and ‘toxic situationships'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Sony Pictures Classics has just dropped the first trailer for Oh, Hi!, and if the internet is any indication, fans are already obsessed. The chaotic, funny, and unexpectedly tender romantic comedy stars Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman as Iris and Isaac. The film, directed by Sophie Brooks (The Boy Downstairs), follows Iris and Isaac on what should be a dreamy first couples getaway. There's a charming romantic dinner, dancing under fairy lights, and even an experimental foray into BDSM. But things take a sharp left turn when Iris dares to use the word 'couple.' Isaac quickly backpedals, prompting Iris to do something… bold. 'Why would you bring me here? Why would you spend all day acting like my boyfriend!?' she demands, standing over a very handcuffed Isaac. 'You're being kinda crazy right now,' he replies. Spoiler: that does not calm her down. The film co-stars Geraldine Viswanathan, John Reynolds, David Cross, Jimmy Gary Jr., and Polly Draper, rounding out an all-star cast. Since its premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Oh, Hi! has been building buzz. Kevin Fallon of The Daily Beast's Obsessed called it 'a hilarious comedy' that disrupts rom-com expectations while The Guardian notes '…the film does happen upon a real, and painful, truth of the problems that come from dating without a label.' Many critics have also noted the strength of Molly Gordon's performance, with Variety calling it 'boundless and bouncily unhinged.' It's also struck a chord online, with fans losing their minds over the Lerman-Gordon pairing and the movie's unhinged premise. 'I am so seated for sexy indie Gerald's Game,' tweeted @SeriousMolly. 'Molly Gordon has so much on screen power. She should be in more projects,' added @Haiderjkhan. @_tweetsbyjess declared: 'Girl this seems like a hit to me!! We will be watching.' And perhaps most appropriately, @stylesgala posted: 'Someone is going to have to restrain me when I see oh, hi!' More Trending Gordon, who also co-wrote the story with Brooks, told Vanity Fair the film is about modern dating frustrations and the emotional confusion that comes with them. 'With apps, it's just such a hard time to date in our modern age, and we've had a communication breakdown between sexes,' she said. 'We just wanted to make something that is about how hard it is to just be honest about how you feel about someone.' Catch Oh, Hi! in theaters starting July 25, Bring Your Own Handcuffs (BYOH).
