The Sundance Film Festival will be looking for a new leader, as director Tabitha Jackson is leaving after two years at the helm of America’s most prestigious film festival.
Tabitha Jackson MC's the Sundance bonfire community gathering on Swede Alley, in Park City, Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020.
When Jackson got the job in 2020, the announcement came just days after she got married, in Park City, to filmmaker Kirsten Johnson . In a statement, Vicente expressed gratitude to Jackson for 8 1/2 years of work at Sundance. “She helped lead the Sundance Film Festival through the ongoing pandemic, helping transform it for the future, all while keeping independent artists as our north star,” Vicente said. “She leaves us with the Festival never more vital than during this time of great change in our industry and in a place to continue to make a meaningful contribution to culture.
