The 2026 festival will run Jan. 22 to Feb. 1 in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah. 2026 will be the last Sundance Film Festival to take place in Utah. The festival previously announced its move to Boulder, Colo., beginning in 2027.

The 2026 festival program will also include archival screenings of past festival movies. The Yarrow Theater in the Park City DoubleTree Hotel will be a screening venue after being dark for several years. Additionally, movies will screen at the Eccles Theater, Holiday Village Cinemas, Park City Library, The Ray and Redstone theaters. Salt Lake City screenings will be held at Broadway Centre Cinemas and the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Centre. United Press International has covered the Sundance Film Festival since 2020.

Glenn Close says she's 'very disturbed' by the Trump-Vance administration
Glenn Close is giving her opinion on the Trump-Vance administration. Close played Vance's grandmother in the 2020 movie "Hillbilly Elegy," based on Vance's memoir. She told BI she's "very disturbed" by what's happening and referenced 1930s Germany. Glenn Close may have once played JD Vance's grandma in a movie, but she doesn't appear to have much affection for him now. On the red carpet for the 2025 Sundance Film Festival gala fundraiser, Close, who attended the gala and is Trustee Emeritus of The Sundance Institute, spoke to Business Insider about her feelings toward the Trump-Vance administration. Though the actor previously had relatively positive experiences with Vance and his family while making "Hillbilly Elegy," the 2020 Ron Howard movie based on Vance's memoir of the same name, the star and outspoken supporter of women's rights and same-sex marriage said she was "disturbed" by the new administration's moves so far. "I do not think it's what this country is," she told BI. "But I also read a lot of history, and I know what happened in Germany in the 1930s. And we think because we're America, it might not happen here. We're wrong." Still, Close indicated she had hope that things could change in the future. "If it's going to happen, we gotta get through it and hope that the pendulum swings back. Usually, that's what history does, but it could take a while," she added. Close has spoken about her experiences with Vance several times before. Most recently, in a January appearance on "The View" to promote her new Netflix movie "Back in Action," the actor recalled how she and other "Hillbilly Elegy" cast members had met with Vance and other members of his family to inform their performances. She said they were "very generous." Host Joy Behar remarked that Vance must have "had a whole different personality in those days than he has now," to which Close replied, "I don't know what happened." "Power is probably the biggest aphrodisiac for a human being," Close added. The White House did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment about Close's remarks.
