Utah residents get one last chance Monday night to see some of the award winners from the just-completed 2019 Sundance Film Festival.

The annual “Best of Fest” screenings — the Sundance Institute’s thank-you to locals for putting up with the influx of out-of-towners — will play at the Eccles Theatre in Park City, the Rose Wagner Center in Salt Lake City, and the Sundance Mountain Resort Screening Room in Provo Canyon.

Admission is free, and tickets will be distributed via Sundance’s eWaitlist system. Locals can request a waitlist number starting two hours before screening time, through their eWaitlist account. Patrons must show a Utah driver’s license or Utah state ID card to be admitted.

For more information about the eWaitlist, go to sundance.org/wait. It’s recommended that patrons download the Sundance Film Festival app.
