Alumni and faculty from the School of Filmmaking at ��������Ƶ have connections to the 2026 through work on films selected across multiple categories, including U.S. Dramatic Competition, World Cinema Dramatic Competition and more, in addition to a virtual roundtable. The festival, one of the most prestigious in the world, begins Jan. 22 and runs through Feb. 1 in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah.

Filmmaking faculty member Andrew H. Brown served as director, cinematographer and editor on “Kikuyu Land,” which is premiering in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition.

Filmmaking alumna Rebecca Green (B.F.A. ’01) is hosting a virtual producers roundtable connected to Sundance through Dear Producer, which is a platform where producers can share experiences, celebrate achievements and provide mentorship for the next generation.
