Attention, movie buffs. The Sundance Satellite Film Festival touches down at the Moonstruck Drive-In, January 28âFebruary 2. Because this year s famed Sundance Film Festival, which happens every January in Park City, Utah, had to be canceled, the organizers rolled out satellite film festivals in 20 cities around the country (along with going largely virtual as well), so we re lucky to be in that number.
