PMA at Sundance 2026: Information Sessions

Experience the internationally acclaimed Sundance Film Festival, where you can enjoy new films and kickstart your film industry journey! 

If you're a current student 25 years old or younger and you've ever thought about attending the Sundance Film Festival, being held for the last time in Park City, Utah, now’s your chance! This unique opportunity allows Cornell students to immerse themselves in the world of contemporary independent cinema and simultaneously learn more about the film industry.

This 1-credit, seven-day program represents a valuable opportunity for students interested in film, media, and the entertainment industry to gain firsthand festival experience and industry exposure. Come to the info sessions to get the details.

Ready to take the next step? Join us at one of our upcoming info sessions by PMA Associate Professor Kristen Warner! The info sessions are open to the public.

If you can't make the sessions, email Dr. Kristen Warner for the application and information packet at kristenwarner@cornell.edu. Interviews will begin in the week of September 15.
