“Boulder is a great fit because of where it is. A) Boulder is beautiful. We’re right by the Flatirons, the Rocky Mountains. You know, it’s always on the horizon. It’s always right there. You feel bad? You look out at the mountains, and everything is just immediately better. Boulder is gorgeous, and I think everybody takes inspiration from where we live and just our surroundings and nature.”

“Even though Sundance won’t happen until 2027, you can already begin to see like the tourism it’s going to bring in. A) which is going to help like the economy alone. And then people will just get to know Boulder and the Boulderites and see that, you know, we’re more than what we present ourselves to be in the best way possible. And I think that’s going to be huge.”

“This mural behind me was painted in 1989 of the year The Sink reopened as The Sink. And in 1989 they came in and repainted all of this artwork, and that’s when Redford was honored with his janitorial pose.”

“I think Sundance will elevate the cultural scene in Boulder. The movie, there’s a of cinema school at CU, and I think that’s going to get a huge boost. Yeah, it’s going to be really fun to see what happens. And when people are introduced to the beauty of Boulder and how amazing this place is, it’s just going to elevate Boulder’s presence on the world stage, I think.”

STORYLINE:
The Sundance Film Festival is Boulder bound, leaving its home of four decades in Park City, Utah, for a new chapter in neighboring Colorado.
Organizers announced their decision Thursday after a yearlong search in which numerous U.S. cities vied to host the nation’s premier independent film festival. The other finalists were Cincinnati, Ohio, and a combined Salt Lake City and Park City bid.
Festival leaders said politics did not influence their move from conservative Utah to liberal Colorado. They did however make “ethos and equity values” one of their criteria and referred to Boulder in their announcement as a “welcoming environment.”
Nearby nature in the Rocky Mountain foothills offers room for visitors and artists to stretch their legs and draw inspiration from high country scenery. It’s also just over half an hour from downtown Denver and not much farther to the city’s international airport. There is not currently a light rail system connecting Denver to Boulder, but a bus runs between the two cities.
