Sundance Film Festival unveils Boulder venues for Colorado debut next year

The Sundance Film Festival is less than a year away, and on Tuesday, the festival unveiled the venues in Boulder. The film festival recently closed the curtain on Utah before getting ready to shine the spotlight on Colorado.

Next year's festival is set to crank up the projector Jan. 21-31, 2027, at a variety of venues, all located in Boulder. 

"Working closely with the Colorado community, the 2027 Sundance Film Festival is already in our sights as we build towards an exciting debut in Boulder where our programming will meet audiences next January," said Eugene Hernandez, Director, Sundance Film Festival and Public Programming, in a statement. "Nestled at the base of Colorado's iconic Flatirons, venues across the city and CU Boulder's campus provide an ideal setting for festivalgoers from across the world to come together, revel in art, spark conversation, and create unforgettable memories. Boulder offers a renowned creative arts and tech scene, paired with the vibrant CU Boulder students, faculty, and staff. We'll share more details in the coming months and hope you'll join us on our journey to Boulder as we build the Sundance Film Festival's new home."

In an earlier interview with CBS Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis said the economic impact to the state could be more than $2 billion over the decade the festival would call Boulder home.

"We're excited to show off our beautiful campus to the world," CU Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz said in a statement. "It is another opportunity for everyone across the country and around the globe to see how amazing CU Boulder is. But I'm also excited to see how our students, who are so creative, leverage the opportunity in ways that I can't even imagine."
