Sundance Film Festival U.S.A. Bypasses Madison Again

Bummer. The Sundance Film Festival U.S.A. will once again avoid Madison. The festival is a Sundance Institute event in which various filmmakers ship their films fresh from the Sundance Festival in Utah to a theatre and then jump on a plane for a special screening.

At least we are not alone as Sundance Cinemas in Seattle was also left out of the loop.

This disappointment follows the theatre putting their Screening Room - a selection of smaller, often foreign, films - on hiatus.

With all these well educated and well heeled Epic employees moving to downtown Madison, perhaps the time is right for a commercial art house cinema.
