Sundance Film Festival Reveals 2025 Festival Favorite Award Winner and Announces 2026 Dates
The Sundance Institute announced the dates for the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, which will take place in person in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, from January 22 to February 1, 2026.
After wrapping up the 2025 edition, the Sundance Institute announced the dates for the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, which will take place in person in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, from January 22 to February 1, 2026.
The 2026 festival may be the last year Sundance is hosted in Utah, as Boulder, Colorado, and Cincinnati, Ohio, have placed bids to host the festival starting in 2027.
“The past 11 days of the Festival have been a meaningful opportunity to connect as a community in support of independent storytelling,” said Amanda Kelso, Acting CEO, Sundance Institute. “We look forward to being reunited with audiences, artists, industry, and press next January for another edition of the Festival.”
The Sundance Film Festival also revealed its final award for 2025: Come See Me in the Good Light, in the Premieres category, won the Festival Favorite Award, voted on by audiences from all the new feature films presented at this year’s event.
“Throughout the Festival we saw audiences moved by Andrea Gibson’s and Megan Falley’s journeys in Come See Me in the Good Light. Festival goers embraced the humor and heartbreak of this intimate documentary directed by Ryan White, as it speaks to art and love and reminds us what it means to be alive as we face mortality,” added Kim Yutani, Sundance Film Festival Director of Programming.
Other award winners were announced during a ceremony at The Ray Theatre in Park City, Utah, on January 31.
