Overview
- Organizers set Jan. 21–31, 2027 for Sundance’s Boulder debut and released an official list of 11 theaters plus additional sites for talks and programming.
- Confirmed screening venues span the city and CU Boulder, including Macky Auditorium Concert Hall, Chautauqua Auditorium, Boulder Theater, and Cinemark Century Boulder.
- Several Boulder halls exceed the capacities of many Park City sites, with Macky topping 2,000 seats and Chautauqua at about 1,300, compared with Park City’s 1,270‑seat Eccles Theater.
- Sundance’s development labs will remain in Utah at the Sundance Mountain Resort, a continuity affirmed by Amy Redford following Robert Redford’s prior blessing for the move.
- Boulder secured the festival after a competitive bid process, with reported incentives ranging from $34 million in tax supports to claims near $70 million, and Colorado’s governor projecting more than $2 billion in statewide impact over the decade.
