Festivalul de Film de la Sundance este un eveniment anual care are loc in statul american Utah incepand cu 1978. Este considerat a fi cel mai mare festival al cinematografului independent din SUA.

Desfasurat in ianuarie in orasul Park City, in capitala statului, Salt Lake City si in Ogden, precum si in statiunea Sundance Resort, festivalul este un prilej de a ilustra munca creatorilor de film independenti, atat din Statele Unite cat si din strainatate.

Festivalul are mai multe sectiuni, printre care se pot enumera, sectiunea de concurs pentru filme americane si straine, sectiunea de filme documentare, atat de lung cat si de scurt metraj, precum si un grup de sectiuni aflate in afara concursului, New Frontier, Spotlight si Park City at Midnight.

Un amanunt demn de mentionat la editia din acest an: in competitia de scurt metraje se regaseste si scurt metrajul romanesc Stopover (reg. Ioana Uricaru).

In 2011 Festivalul va avea loc in perioada 20-30 ianuarie.
