Sundance To Proceed Amid LA Wildfires: ‘We Must Carry On’

Despite devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, the Sundance Film Festival will go ahead next week in Park City, Utah. Sundance CEO Amanda Kelso urged resilience, saying, “We may mourn, but it is important to carry on.”

Michelle Satter, a Sundance Institute leader who lost her home in the fires, will be honored at the festival’s gala on January 24.

While Sundance and the Grammys continue, the Oscars face possible cancellation amid the chaos. The fires have claimed 24 lives, destroyed thousands of homes, and paused Hollywood productions.
