The Boulder Theater will be one of the venues screening movies during the Sundance Film Festival starting in 2027.

This week on Regional Roundup, we take a closer look at the Sundance Film Festival’s recent announcement that it will move from Park City, Utah—its home for 40 years—to Boulder, Colorado, starting in 2027.
We hear from a Colorado lawmaker sponsoring legislation to provide the festival with tax credits, as well as the director of the Utah Film Commission on what the move means for the state.
Also, we examine the carbon footprint of the food we eat and explore a new collection of essays that delves into the tension between growth and sustainability in the American West.
