Sundance Film Festival 2021: Online and in many places

The well-known Sundance Film Festival has found its own answer to the limitations caused by the Corona crisis - the festival, which runs for 7 days from January 28 to February 3, 2021, will be held both online and at various locations such as cinemas, drive-in cinemas and cultural centers in the USA, the latter including not only the films but also a tailor-made local program including lectures, events and artist meetings.

For film enthusiasts worldwide, the new concept has the advantage that the Sundance Festval can be enjoyed at home, at least in part via the Internet - as was the case at the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals. In this way, filmmakers as well as the audience can come together online to experience new works by the artists, get in touch with each other and participate in discussions. While all films in the program will be available online, not all of them will be available outside the United States. The New Frontier for XR and Emerging Media festival sections will be accessible worldwide, as will the full program of lectures and events.
