Frame by Frame: Poster Art of the Sundance Film Festival

For more than four decades, the Sundance Film Festival has been the preeminent gathering of original storytellers and audiences seeking new voices and fresh perspectives. In celebration of the Festival’s inaugural edition in its new home in Boulder, Colorado, January 21–31, 2027, the Boulder JCC and Sundance Institute present Frame by Frame: Poster Art of the Sundance Film Festival, December 16, 2026–February 22, 2027, in the Boulder JCC’s Messinger Gallery.
This exhibition of 20 posters that have defined the Festival’s identity since 1985 features iconic graphics, vibrant typography, and bold imagery by innovative artists and studios such as AdamsMorioka, Saul Bass, Choque Le Goff, Innovation (Gilberto Schaefer), Mother Design, Pentagram (Paula Scher, Emily Oberman, Andrea Trabucco-Campos), and Studio Lowrie. This is a rare opportunity to view these powerful works together to see how they capture the evolving spirit of the Sundance Film Festival and independent film.
We invite you to join us for an opening reception and conversation with the designers of the 2027 Sundance Film Festival poster and visual identity, Emily Oberman and Andrea Trabucco-Campos of Pentagram. Select posters from the exhibition will be available for purchase, offering visitors the chance to take home a piece of Sundance Film Festival history.
