Each year the Sundance Film Festival selects 200 films for exhibition from more than 9,000 submissions. More than 50,000 people attend screenings in twelve theatres in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Sundance, Utah. In addition to discovering film making's newest talent through the Festival's program of documentary, dramatic, and short film, Festival goers experience live music shows, panel discussions with leading filmmakers and industry figures, parties celebrating the Festival community, and more.
The course will run from January 14 (Monday) to January 25 (Friday), 2013 in Park City, Utah. Students fly into Salt Lake City, Utah and take a shuttle to Park City. Mountain conditions in Park City are famous for their excellence. Many students choose to spend their free time during the day taking advantage of some of the best snow in the world by strapping on their skis or snowboard and heading out to Park City's world-renowned slopes. 2014 will be this USD program's 10th Anniversary!
