The CEO of Sundance, Joana Vicente, has suggested the possibility of the festival moving from Park City due to accessibility and cost challenges. There is a general sentiment that streamers are less interested in independent films compared to previous years. Discussions at the festival also revolve around the future of indie film, the impact of streaming platforms like Netflix, and the potential departure of the festival from Park City. Various industry professionals and creatives are engaging in conversations about the future of filmmaking at the festival.

This is why I LOVE going to film festivals. All of the best films of the year usually premiere at Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Telluride, TIFF, and a few other major festivals. Worth it to go, worth it to watch all these films at fests. https://t.co/qmEu1FUoZw
