Films

FilmScene has worked closely with the programming team at Sundance Film Festival to curate a selection of films that will speak to the interests of our audience, but also encourage viewers to explore something new and unexpected. In collaboration with the Festival, films have been hand picked based on their themes, origins or messages. The FilmScene team will be going on this curatorial journey with our audience – discovering new voices, welcoming different ideas, and considering diverse perspectives right alongside our patrons.

Virtual content

All films selected for the Sundance Film Festival will be available in an online portal with access available directly from the Festival through paid admission. Additional beyond film content will be available through the Festival Village platform, a free-for-all portal to a wide range of events, programming, and offerings to complement and enrich the official program.
