Sundance Film Festival Highlights Independent Film Trends in 2026
The 2026 Sundance Film Festival, the last edition held in Park City, offered a reflection on the evolving landscape of independent film, according to Variety. The festival showcased a selection of films that highlighted both the opportunities and challenges presented by the rise of streaming services.
Variety's critics compiled a list of the 13 best movies of the festival, noting that while streaming provides a broader platform for some films, the impact of a theatrical release remains significant. "There are ways that it can now feel diminished, as the streaming world absorbs some of its energy," Variety stated, "in ways both positive...and negative."
In other news, consumers looked for deals and discounts in February. Wired reported on various promotions, including savings on items at Walmart, Altra Running shoes, and Paramount+ subscriptions. Walmart offered flash deals with up to 65% off on tech, appliances, and seasonal items. Altra Running had discounts of up to 50% off, along with a 10% discount for sign-ups and free shipping. Paramount+ provided coupon codes for deals on streaming services, allowing viewers to access content like "South Park" and "Yellowstone."
For those seeking legal assistance, LegalZoom offered an exclusive promo code for 10% off their services in February, according to Wired. One user found the service easy to use when setting up an LLC for their band, Steel Fringe. However, they noted a potential pitfall: "I did make the mistake of spelling my co-bandleaders middle name as his last name...so I had to toss them another 129 to fix that."
