JIM SANTY AUDITORIUM 1255 PARK AVE PARK CITY • 435.615.8291 Park City Film has planned a Sundance Film Festival break after this weekend’s screenings of the Taika Waititi’s Oscar-nominated satire, “Jojo Rabbit.” The nonprofit will make way for festival screenings for 10 days starting on Thursday, Jan. 22, at the Park City Library’s Jim Santy Auditorium, but that doesn’t mean Park City Film is going underground, said Katharine Wang, Park City Film executive director. “We will be selling concessions, and if people are looking for locally sourced and delicious movie theater food, you can find us on the third floor,” Wang said. Having volunteers sell concessions is part of an agreement Park City Film has with Sun- COURTESY OF KATHARINE WANG Park City Film Executive Director Katharine Wang, left, stands with Gloria Kennedy, the nonprofit’s concessions manager, during the 2019 Sundance Film Festival at the Library Theatre.

The weekend will feature the nonprofit’s Oscar party on Saturday, Feb. 8, that will start at 6 p.m., before the films start at 8 p.m., she said.

And he had to tread carefully and not be totally dismissive or horrifying.” Wang said the conversations of prejudice and nationalism that are addressed in “Jojo Rabbit” are timeless. “Unfortunately, in the current era, it has really struck a chord,” she said. “I think the way he handles these things is well received because he does it consciously and thoughtfully. He doesn’t just do it for laughs, even though the movie is a satirical comedy to, in a way, make the story more accessible to audiences.” Wang is excited that Park City Film, as an arthouse organization, is screening “Jojo Rabbit” the weekend before the Sundance Film Festival. “It’s a powerful film and it certainly warrants a good audience to start conversations it invites to our community,” she said. |
