The official awards for the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, held in Utah every January, were announced this morning at a ceremony held in person in Utah. This always marks the end of the fest, with a few days of screenings left. The festival wraps this week with at-home viewings in addition to all the in-person events. This year’s line-up featured a grand total of 90 feature films, with a handful of top notch films but not as many as the years before. The main winners for 2026 include Josephine, taking home Grand Jury Prize; along with the polar bear film Nuisance Bear winning Grand Jury Prize for Documentary. The Audience Awards went to Josephine again + (the doc) American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez. I have to say – these Sundance winners are finally right on point this year. All the best films have been given some prize, especially the stand outs like Josephine and Everybody To Kenmure Street and To Hold a Mountain and many others. As always, if any of these films mentioned interest you, we hope you note them down and catch up with them as soon as you can whenever they play near you.
