One complimentary beer/wine and a raffle ticket is included with each festival ticket purchase.

Prepare to be amazed, motivated, inspired and wowed by more than eight films including The Strong People, which tells the story of the Elwha dam removal, and Momenta, which describes the impact of the planned coal export trains through the Pacific Northwest. Other films will take us on real life adventures into the natural world—hiking with daring kayakers into a remote Mexican jungle in search of the perfect waterfall from which to plummet; reveling in the adventure of catching air; discovering what motivated a man nicknamed SLOMO to live by inline skate; and floating the Trinity River of California with a five year-old boy in search of his first steelhead.

Sundance Cinemas were one of the first theaters to use compostable popcorn bags, and the only one to carry movie candy that comes in compostable packaging.  There is a Living Room Lounge, an art gallery, new carpet, and simplified validated parking for only $2.00 after 5 pm. The Sundance-inspired ambiance features furniture from the Sundance Catalog and finishes using reclaimed wood from Bainbridge Island.
