Film festivals are back, baby. Well, kind of. Sundance Institute has announced that its 2022 film festival will run from January 20 to 30 and take place both in-person and online.

The Tribeca Film Festival will run its 2021 lineup this summer from June 9 to 20 in exclusively outdoor screenings across New York City.
