Film aficionados in Kentucky had hoped to see the celebrated Sundance Film Festival make the move to Louisville in 2027, but this week, the Sundance Institute unveiled a whittled down list of finalists and Kentucky’s largest city did not make the cut.
The three remaining cities on the shortlist are Boulder, Salt Lake City, and a close neighbor in Ohio — Cincinnati.
The Sundance Film Festival is the largest independent film festival in the U.S. It will stay put in in Park City and Salt Lake City for the next two years.
A final decision on the eventual move is expected in early 2025.
