Sundance Film Festival has announced that the 2027 edition will make its Boulder, Colorado, debut from 21–31 January 2027. 

This will be the first time the festival will welcome global audiences to its new location, with the event featuring a wide range of world premieres, compelling conversations, special events and more. 

“The January gathering continues the festival’s enduring impact of championing original voices, forging meaningful connections, and entertaining audiences from around the world,” organisers said. 

“Boulder, Colorado, will be the Sundance Film Festival’s home beginning in 2027 and beyond.”

“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,” added Eugene Hernandez, director, Sundance Film Festival and public programming. 

“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.”

Official venues for the upcoming 2027 Sundance Film Festival are also being revealed. 

“Across these engaging locations, artists will showcase their captivating works, audiences will experience the debut of entertaining and trailblazing storytelling, and attendees will join in thought-provoking conversations and lively events, with additional information to follow in the coming months,” Sundance said.
