The screenings, which will take place in Salt Lake City, Park City, Coalville, Ogden and St. George, are free and open to the public. Free summer films highlighted by special events Submitted by Sundance Institute Summer has finally arrived, which means it’s time for the return of Utah’s outdoor movie tradition, now in its 22nd year. Sundance Institute will once again celebrate the season and Utah’s natural beauty with free screenings of eleven Sundance Film Festival favorites, taking place in Salt Lake City, Park City, Ogden, St. George and, new this year, Coalville. (See accompanying story). The screenings will also feature special guests, family-friendly activities, food and surprises. Films start at dusk (approximately 9 p.m.), with gates opening and activities beginning at 7:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted. All screenings are free and open to the public, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees are encouraged to 7bring picnic baskets and blankets or low-back lawn chairs to outdoor screenings. “I can’t think of a better way to spend the summer than sharing these great films made by talented artists with our friends and neighbors, all while surrounded by our state’s natural beauty,” said Betsy Wallace, managing director and CFO of Sundance Institute. “We’re proud of our yearround partnership with the state of Utah and always look forward to this opportunity to express our appreciation for our home state and the people we share it with.” The series starts on July 3, with a special showing of “Get Out” at Salt Lake City’s Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre. The Academy Award-winning film made its world premiere as a surprise screening at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival before going on to become a worldwide phenomenon. The films continue in Salt Lake with an advance screening of the 2019 Festival’s family-friendly film “Abe” prior to its theatrical release. The first Park City screening will be on July 12 with another standout from this year’s Festival, “Top End Wedding.” Other highlights of the series include 2018’s critically acclaimed “Eighth Grade;” the classic Festival favorite “The Cockettes,” featuring an in-person Q & A with co-directors Bill Weber and David Weissman; and the Summer Series’ first-ever screening in Coalville, with 2019’s Alfred P. Sloan Prize-winning “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.” Of the ten selected films, three made their world premieres at this year’s Sundance Film Festival; eight of the ten films played in the last three Festivals. The Utah community will once again be able to vote to select the final film of the series, either online at sundance.org/utah or via onsite balloting at screenings through mid-August. The nominees will be chosen from a selection of classic Festival films from women filmmakers, including “Leave No Trace,” “The Miseducation of Cameron Post” and “Little Miss Sunshine.” “Each year, we look for more Sundance Institute Summer Film Series When: July 3 through Aug. 21 Where: Salt Lake City, Park City, Coalville, Ogden and St. George Cost: Free Web: sundance.org ways to connect people all over Utah with our work,” said LaraLee Ownby, assistant director of Utah Community Programs for Sundance Institute. “We’re thrilled to continue the Summer Series’ expansion this year and bring these recent Festival favorites, many directed by filmmakers from underrepresented groups, to entertain and hopefully inspire a new generation of art-lovers throughout the state.” The Institute will again collaborate with other Utah-based organizations for the Summer Film Series, including DOCUTAH International Documentary Film Festival, the Kimball Arts Festival and Ogden Amphitheater.
