Sundance Film Festival
Park City, Utah, USA
Notes
- In 1978, the Utah/US Film Festival, an annual cinematic exhibition, was created in Salt Lake City. During its early years, the festival focused primarily on the presentation of retrospective films and filmmaker seminars. However, from its inception, the festival featured a national competition aimed at drawing attention to emerging American films made outside the Hollywood system - "independent" cinema.
- In 1981, the United States Film Festival moved to Park City, Utah, and grew to include documentaries and short films, along with its slate of dramatic features.
- In 1985, responding to the need for support from an organization that could provide year-round programming, administrative staffing, financial backing, and a network of contacts, the festival became part of the Sundance Institute and added international films to its program. Officially renamed in 1991, the Sundance Film Festival has become recognized internationally as a showcase for the best in new American independent film (from the festival's web site, 2000).
