The Delta variant has caused Hollywood to reevaluate its approach to “reopening.” With concern about a recent increase in infections but widespread sentiment against re-imposing lockdowns as a means to control them, businesses and local governments are opting instead for vaccine requirements and/or frequent testing for the virus. This week, the Sundance Institute announced that its 2022 Sundance Film Festival will require proof of vaccination for in-person guests. Tabitha Jackson, the festival’s director, said that the decision was made after determining how best “to safely bring together artists, audiences, volunteers and staff from around the world.” It seems likely that Sundance will set the precedent for the industry’s other major festivals to follow until the coronavirus has been brought fully to heel. The 2022 Sundance Film Festival will take place in Park City, Utah from January 20-30, returning to its full 11-day schedule after holding an abbreviated, modified event in 2020.
