Jaunted at Sundance: Film Festival Theater Guide

With so many people trying to see so many films (207!), Park City's tapped about just about every venue in town that can seat more than a few dozen people. While that's good for film buffs, it also makes it confusing to figure out where you're supposed to see what. Here's a handy guide to the biggest theaters, all of which are mapped out on our Sundance 2008 Map.

Eccles Center is the city's biggest venue, with 1,270 seats. It was built 10 years ago, and frequently hosts cultural events, so Sundance screenings are old hat for the staff. You'll find it within walking distance of festival HQ at the Park City Marriott. You can also get there via the Park City Transit 1 and 5 buses. 1750 Kearns Blvd.

The iconic Egyptian Theatre sits right on Main Street, and you shouldn't have any trouble finding it. (Look for the flash bulbs.) Robert Redford kicked off the festival today with a press conference at this 1926 landmark. Your best bet for getting there is via foot from the Old Town Transit Center, which is served by all bus routes. 328 Main St.

The Yarrow Hotel Theatre is really just a converted conference/ball room at the hotel. That said, crews have tricked out the space with stadium seating and a legit projection booth. The press screening of In Bruges will play tonight, with other industry-only showings continuing through Sundance. Take the 1 or 2 bus. 1800 Park Ave.

Holiday Village Cinemas has three screens of programming to offer, making it a likely stop for most festival-goers. During the year, this is a normal multi-plex, so you know what to expect. It's right down the block from the Yarrow. 1776 Park Ave.
