Their yearly lineup comprises a wide array of dramatic and documentary features, short films, and episodic content. “Additionally, we curate daily filmmaker discussions, panel talks, and various engaging events.

Online Experience

This year, there will be 91 feature films and numerous shorts all available to you with a ticket or pass for on-demand access. In a non-hybrid format, an attendee might be able to squeeze in two movies in one day if they’re feeling ambitious, but in this new format, you could see many more. 

In-Person Experience

Each screening will have a limited number of slots available. In-person and online ticket packages and passes are on sale now. Tickets for individual screenings will go on sale January 11. 

This year, in-person attendees will also get to enjoy a transformed Park City Main Street which will include numerous corporate-sponsored spaces, including the Acura House of Energy and a Hulu-sponsored food truck.
