Happy Tuesday Hive Members!

I have a special one this week for the movie fanatics, especially if you want to soak up Sundance one last time before it leaves Utah for good.

Best part? It’s free.

In this week’s Hive:

• Sundance Screenings

• This week’s events

Sundance Free Films

The special Sundance Local Lens event has returned to Utah for free film screenings before they are officially released to the public.

Between July 17th-19th you’ll have the chance to see award winning Sundance films for free. Here are some of those so you can decide if you want to RSVP!

Omaha

After a family tragedy, siblings Ella and Charlie are unexpectedly woken up by their dad and taken on a journey across the country, experiencing a world they’ve never seen before.

As their adventure unfolds, Ella begins to understand that things might not be what they seem.

Twinless

Two young men meet in a twin bereavement support group and form an unlikely bromance.

Selena y Los Dinos

Selena Quintanilla — the “Queen of Tejano Music” — and her family band, Selena y Los Dinos, rose from performing at quinceañeras to selling out stadium tours.

The celebration of her life and legacy is chronicled through never-before-seen footage from the family’s personal archive.

Come See Me in the Good Light

Two poets, one incurable cancer diagnosis. Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley go on an unexpectedly funny and poignant journey through love, life, and mortality.

The Librarians

As an unprecedented wave of book banning is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond, librarians under siege join forces as unlikely defenders fighting for intellectual freedom on the front lines of democracy.

The Dating Game

In a country where eligible men greatly outnumber women, three perpetual bachelors join an intensive seven-day dating camp led by one of China’s most sought-after dating coaches in what may be their last-ditch effort to find love.

All That’s Left of You

When a Palestinian teen gets swept up into a West Bank protest, his mother recounts their family’s story of hope, courage and relentless struggle that led them to this fateful moment.

Rebuilding

After a wildfire takes the family farm, a rancher seeks a way forward.
