Show Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, July 2-5, 2016 Sundance films add to the summer fun Free screenings held in Park City and Salt Lake By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record C-5 The Park Record port our programming.” The activities will include a water balloon toss and other games. “We want to get people in the park and watch this movie together,” Cody said. Another Sundance Institute collaboration will be with the Kimball Art Center and the Park City Kimball Arts Festival for a screening of “Sonita,” on Aug. 12. The documentary is about an 18-year-old Afghan rapper who found out her family planned to sell her to an unknown groom for $9,000. “‘Sonita’ is such a powerful film,” Cody said. “Something you can take away from that film is not only that girls should not be sold, but also how the power of art can tell a story and transform and make lives better. “Sonita herself is such an incredible artist and so passionate about her art and her cause, which is making sure no other girls are sold and ending child brides,” she said. “She used the art of music as a tool to make these changes, and I think it is the perfect fit with the arts festival.” Another unique City Park screening will be “Under the Electric Sky (EDC 2013),” which will be shown in 3D on July 29. “We have been talking about presenting a film in 3D outdoors for years now, and we are finally ready to make it happen this summer,” Cody said. This is also a timely film, which is about the Electric Daisy Carnival. “The Electric Daisy Carnival, which is this [electronic dance music] festival in Las Vegas, just celebrated its 25th anniversary,” Cody said. “So, we decided to pull out the big guns and show it in City Park. I like EDM music, but not a super fan. However, after seeing this film, I would love to go to the festival some day.” Sundance Institute will loan 3D glasses for the screening because, according to Holden Payne, Sundance Institute technical director of exhibition and production, the glasses are compatible with the Dolby equipment. The two remaining films, “Kinky Boots” and “We Are X,” will be screened at Red Butte Garden.
