This week we wanted to share a little about Sundance, the Park City School District and the Berkshire Hathaway 2017 Year End Market Overview. Sundance is almost here with 110 Independent Films From 29 Countries. The Festival hosts screenings in Park City, Salt Lake City and at Sundance Mountain Resort, from January 18th –28th. Robert Redford, President and Founder of Sundance Institute, said, “The work of independent storytellers can challenge and possibly change culture, illuminating our world’s imperfections and possibilities. This year’s Festival is full of artfully-told stories that provoke thought, drive empathy and allow the audience to connect, in deeply personal ways, to the universal human experience.”

For the 2018 Festival, 110 feature-length films were selected, representing 29 countries and 47 first-time filmmakers, including 30 in competition.These films were selected from 13,468 submissions including 3,901 feature-length films and 8,740 short films. Of the feature film submissions, 1,799 were from the U.S. and 2,102 were international. One-hundred feature films at the Festival will be world premieres. In 2017, the Festival drew 71,638 attendees, generated $151.5 million in economic activity for the state of Utah and supported 2,778 local jobs.

The Park City School District is in the News - There are nearly 100,000 elementary, middle, and high schools in the US.
