Due to the nationwide surge of COVID-19 cases, the in-person portion of the Sundance Film Festival has been canceled. The 2022 festival will be held entirely online.
"While it is a deep loss to not have the in-person experience in Utah, we do not believe it is safe nor feasible to gather thousands of artists, audiences, employees, volunteers, and partners from around the world, for an eleven-day festival while overwhelmed communities are already struggling to provide essential services," festival organizers said in a statement Wednesday.
The festival was set to be held in Park City, Utah, and use a hybrid model that included both in-person screenings followed by Q&A sessions with filmmakers as well as online screenings. Tickets for the now virtual festival, which begins on January 20, will go on sale January 13. Festival organizers said they will be in touch with people who already purchased tickets, passes and packages for the event.
