## Summary

The Sundance Institute's public site describes its mission, year-round Artist Labs at the Sundance Resort, the Sundance Film Festival, the New Frontier program for immersive storytelling, granting and fellowship programs, and the institute's nonprofit structure. The site also covers the announced relocation of the Festival to Boulder, Colorado in 2027.

## Useful Claims

- Sundance Institute was founded in 1981 by Robert Redford as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
- Year-round Artist Labs are held at the Sundance Resort in Utah.
- The New Frontier program has supported VR, AR, and interactive storytelling residencies since 2007.
- The Sundance Film Festival relocates from Park City to Boulder, Colorado in 2027; the last Park City festival is January 2026.

## Reliability Notes

Reliable for institutional self-description and program structure. Festival-impact and alumni-influence claims are best triangulated with independent industry coverage. Forward-looking statements about the Boulder relocation are subject to operational change.
