Central Recorderdance Film Festival is crossing its fingers that after two fully online events, this will be the year it returns to an in-person format. It has set the dates for a hybrid festival in Park City, Utah, Salt Lake City and beyond for Jan. 19-29, 2023.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not ditching its online presence and is still planning for a hybrid format, just as it had originally done in 2022 before the Omicron variant of COVID forced the festival to go fully virtual for the second year in a row. <\/p>\n

Sundance also says that its 2023 program will be even larger than what has been presented digitally the past two years. Pass and package information for online and in-person participation will be shared closer to the festival, as will detailed health safety and vaccination guidance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"How<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to return to our home in Park City and present exciting new work from around the world live and in person,\u201d festival director Tabitha Jackson said. \u201cWe also have two years of digital exhibition and participation under our collective belt, and are returning to the excitement and immediacy of live events while retaining a powerful online offering.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the first time in the festival\u2019s history this year, a movie that first premiered at Sundance won the Best Picture Oscar more than a full year later when \u201cCODA\u201d took home the top prize after it first swept Sundance 2021 with four different prizes. Questlove\u2019s \u201cSummer of Soul\u201d also made its premiere at Sundance in 2021 and likewise went on to win the 2022 Oscar for Best Documentary. While it\u2019s too early to talk about any sort of Oscar buzz this year, 2022\u2019s festival slate included the audience winner \u201cCha Cha Real Smooth\u201d from director Cooper Raiff, which also sold to Apple for $15 million, as well as other festival standouts such as \u201cNanny,\u201d \u201cHonk For Jesus. Save Your Soul,\u201d \u201cNavalny,\u201d \u201c2nd Chance\u201d and many more. <\/p>\n
