"Another Sundance Film Festival has come & gone, but this time, as the red carpets get rolled up and we put our snow boots back in storage, we're also saying goodbye to Park City, Utah, the fest's historic home since it was founded over 40 years ago by the late Robert Redford. And though its new location in Boulder, Colorado promises to take the annual celebration of independent cinema to a state decidedly"
"That tradition certainly continued this year with a fabulously eclectic selection of narrative features, documentaries, short films, and more that brought new corners of the queer experience to the big screen, from paranormal horrors to charming coming-of-age tales to the latest from New Queer Cinema auteur Gregg Araki-his impressive 11th film to makes its bow at the festival. So, with that in mind, we went ahead and rounded up our favorite LGBTQ+ titles from Sundance 2026,"
"In his first feature in over a decade, filmmaker Gregg Araki delivers Cooper Hoffman in lacy panties, someone face-down in the pool, and Olivia Wilde as a provocative artist sexually propositioning her employee-all in the first five minutes! While that may cause whiplash for some, it's par for the course for the transgressive auteur who emerged from the New Queer Cinema movement of the '90s and never lost the thrill of pushing audiences' buttons."
Sundance Film Festival is relocating from Park City, Utah to Boulder, Colorado after more than 40 years. The festival built a significant legacy of queer film in Park City, championing diverse stories and introducing trailblazing LGBTQ+ filmmakers. The 2026 lineup presented an eclectic mix of narrative features, documentaries, and shorts exploring varied queer experiences, including paranormal horror and coming-of-age tales. New Queer Cinema auteur Gregg Araki returned with his first feature in over a decade, showcasing provocative, transgressive imagery and casting Cooper Hoffman and Olivia Wilde. A curated list highlights standout LGBTQ+ titles and festival superlatives for films and filmmakers to watch.
