Sundance Institute is a champion and curator of independent stories. We believe that original voices and creative visions have the power to engage and connect us.

We provide the space for these storytellers to create and thrive through the Sundance Institute labs, and our Sundance Film Festival invites artists and audiences into a community that ignites the new ideas that inform and transform our culture.

To learn more about the year-round work of Sundance Institute, visit sundance.org.

Sundance Circle is a vibrant community of supporters passionate about independent artists and their ideas. By joining the Institute donor community, you are directly impacting artists’ ability to tell their stories and giving audience members the opportunity to discover unique voices.

As part of Sundance Circle, members are invited to immerse themselves in a wide range of Institute programs, both throughout the year and during the Sundance Film Festival.
