YouTube at Next Fest, presented by Sundance Institute
Film aficionados, take note: YouTube is proud to be a part of Sundance Next Fest for a second year, celebrating the renegade spirit of independent artists in film and music.
Last year, Sundance became the first major film festival to curate and screen a short film program exclusively featuring videos on YouTube at their Next Weekend summer festival. At this year’s Sundance Film Festival in Park City, we also brought the YouTube experience offline, hosting panels, musical performances, parties, and even morning yoga.
