For the third year in a row, Music Box Theatre is honored to partner with Sundance Film Festival U.S.A. and its nationwide tour. This year, we have been selected to host the World Premiere of actor/director Julie Delpy’s new film 2 Days In New York, a follow-up to her 2007 film, 2 Days In Paris.

In previous years, sell-out crowds have packed the Music Box to welcome stars and filmmakers such as Philip Seymour Hoffman (Jack Goes Boating) and Jim Kohlberg (The Music Never Stopped).

Stayed tuned to see which special guest will be in attendance this year!

About Sundance USA 2012.
Sundance Institute recently announced the films from the 2012 Sundance Film Festival that will screen in independent theaters in nine different cities around the country. The screenings are part of Sundance Film Festival USA, a program designed to bring the Festival experience to film-loving audiences nationwide.

On January 26, the second Thursday of the Sundance Film Festival, nine filmmakers will each travel from Utah to one of the following cities: Ann Arbor, MI; Boston, MA; Brooklyn, NY; Chicago, IL; Houston, TX; Nashville, TN; Orlando, FL; San Francisco, CA; and Tucson, AZ. Their travel is courtesy of Official Airline Sponsor Southwest Airlines. In each city, the filmmaker will introduce and screen their film and participate in a Q&A with the audience. A video featuring highlights from this year’s Sundance Film Festival will precede each screening.

“Bringing new voices in independent cinema to communities across the country at the same time they’re breaking for the first time at the Sundance Film Festival is an exciting proposition for artists, audiences, and for us,” said Robert Redford, Founder and President of Sundance Institute. “Even with the accessibility of films everywhere, there is still something incomparable about discovering, with others, a new world in a great story onscreen.”

John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, “Sundance Film Festival USA is our way of celebrating arthouse theatres across the country and thanking them for their year-round support of independent film. For these filmmakers, it’s also an opportunity to connect with the growing audiences for independent film outside of Utah and offer them a first look at the year ahead.”
