The rest of the film-loving public can purchase tickets the day after. Satellite Screen events can be purchased separately.
Today’s Sundance announcement was made by Festival Director Tabitha Jackson. “Our programming team, led by the fearless Kim Yutani,is deep into screening the mountain of submissions we have already received this year,” She said. “As our press and industry offices open in preparation for the next edition of our festival we are excited to share what details we can today, anticipate sharing more as we know more, and can’t wait to meet audiences wherever they are, including in Utah, in January.”
Festival-sanctioned events and festival attendees will need to be fully immunized against Covid-19. The vaccine is approved by World Health Organization.
The festival suggests that masks be worn both indoors and outdoors. Information on how to prove vaccination will be provided closer to the Festival.
