The 2026 Sundance Film Festival comes to a close this weekend, but every screening has felt tinged with melancholy. This is the final year the festival—founded by the late Robert Redford—will be held in this small Utah ski town, which annually bursts with buyers, media, movie stars, filmmakers, and cheerful volunteers in chic, festival-issued puffer jackets. In 2027, the whole thing will move to Boulder, Colorado—a location-shift that portends a bit of an identity crisis.
