Baku, January 6, AZERTAC
The annual Sundance Film Festival will be held completely online this year due to the rising numbers of coronavirus cases, according to Independent.
Organisers said it was a “deep loss” not to have an in-person event but that pressing ahead as planned was neither “safe nor feasible”.
The 2022 festival in Park City, Utah, was scheduled to be a “hybrid” event, with both virtual and in-person access.
Sundance Institute chief executive Joana Vicente and festival director Tabitha Jackson explained the “difficult decision” in a statement online.
