Riding my bike to the gym this morning, I looked out across the landscape spread before me. It was a Park City postcard kind of fall morning. The sky was clear and blue and utterly cloudless. A sliver of light glowed just above the mountains like a silver halo. The air felt cool and crisp. A flock of birds flitted away as I came upon them. Bits of red and gold dotted the trees in the ridgeline above me.

Park City Film will celebrate restarting its in-person public screenings with an array of Academy Award-nominated features and documentaries.
“It’s Oscar season and it’s exciting to see these films on the big screen,” said Park City Film Executive Director Katharine Wang.
The first film out of the gates will be Lee Isaac Chung’s “Minari,” rated PG-13.
The film, which premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and won the Grand Jury and Audience Awards, will run from Friday, April 16, to Sunday, April 18.
“The film is about a Korean-Amercan family who moves to Arkansas in search of the American Dream, and I’ve been dying to bring it back,” Wang said. “It’s about the resilience of family and what makes a home. It’s a story that people can connect with regardless of their family histories.”
