“This year’s lineup brings together artists who have shaped film and television across generations, from Jessica Lange and Bill Pullman to Peter Farrelly,” said Teddy Grennan, executive director and co-founder of the Sun Valley Film Festival. “Sun Valley is a place where audiences can get close to the craft, whether through a screening, a Coffee Talk or a conversation over dinner, and we’re thrilled to welcome these remarkable talents to the mountains this December.”
