Sundance Is Moving: Independent Cinema Is Still Here

Posted on March 27, 2025March 27, 2025 by Rachel Getts

Official Statement from Salt Lake Film Society on Utah’s Independent Film Future

Utah has long been a cornerstone of independent film—its breathtaking landscapes, robust nonprofit film organizations, deep production resources, and a century-long legacy of iconic films make it a powerhouse in the industry. From its stunning scenery to its strong infrastructure of nonprofit film organizations, skilled crews, extensive production resources, and even the potential of a new film studio by Kevin Costner, Utah continues to stand as a premier destination for filmmakers.

While Sundance’s decision may be disappointing to some, it does not change the fact that Utah remains home to one of the most passionate and engaged moviegoing communities in the nation. Salt Lake Film Society (Broadway Centre Cinemas and Historic Tower Theatre), along with Utah’s strong mid-sized cinema exhibitors and innovative nonprofit film organizations, continues to shape the national independent film scene. Utah thrives as a leader in film exhibition, preservation, and artistic innovation.

Salt Lake City, in particular, will remain a vibrant hub for cinema with Salt Lake Film Society’s annual film festivals, including Filmexico, Masima: Pacific Island Film Festival, Unstoppable: Differently Abled Film Festival, and Czech That Film. The state will continue to champion film culture, supporting historic venues like the 1928 Tower Theatre, currently undergoing a renovation to become an environmentally responsible cultural hub dedicated exclusively to film.

For those donors who once supported Sundance, there are many meaningful ways to continue investing in Utah’s film future. Organizations like Salt Lake Film Society, Utah Film Commission, Utah Film Center, and SpyHop Productions provide powerful platforms for independent voices, historic cinema preservation, accessibility advocacy, and environmental sustainability in film.

Salt Lake Film Society will continue to operate 365 days a year at Broadway Centre Cinemas and Tower Theatre to fuel dreams, spark community, and ignite conscience through film. Visit or support us at SLFStix.org.

This show includes a full-cast (all key characters) provided by Latter Day Transvestites/Out of the Shadows Theater Company as well as local, infamous emcee Susan Steffee. Susan has been emcee for Rocky Horror Picture Shows at the Tower Theater for over 40 years – and counting!

This irreverent show will include shadow-cast reenactments of scenes, costumes to feast the eyes upon, and Susan’s mad-libs throughout the entire show.

This show is adult in nature, includes language and themes that are not for all individuals, SLFS recommends individuals do their own research to determine if an event is appropriate for them. The SLFS Rocky Horror event disclaimer is below, please view before purchasing a ticket or attending this event.

More about the Shadow Cast:

The Latter Day Transvestites (LDT) have been feeding your Rocky addiction since 1995 (officially). From the Blue Mouse to the Tower Theatre, and possibly before, The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been playing in the Salt Lake City area. The cast started officially in 1995 and dubbed “The Little Cast of Horrors”, LDT has been through personnel changes, personal disasters, and near prosecution by the local vice squad. In 1997 we changed the name to the Latter Day Transvestites to reflect our heritage and our personal fashion preferences.

Come join us as we take a step to the right into our version of reality.

The performance by the Latter Day Transvestites is brought to you by the Out of the Shadows Theater Group (OSTG). OSTG provides an alternative aspect to the performing arts and cinema. Catering to cult film followers and encouraging audience participation. OSTG is an ongoing presence in Salt Lake City through local media, live performances and community events. Our shadow casts are known for their improvisations and witty call backs while performing to well known and loved cult films.

Tower Theatre Update

Posted on July 15, 2024May 15, 2025 by Rachel Getts

TOWER THEATRE PLANNING UPDATES

This page was last updated on May 15, 2025

Our goal is to update this page quarterly.

We extend our deep gratitude to all who have inquired about and continue to love the Tower. SLFS remains 100% committed to preserving this unique and wonderful cinematic gem.

THE VISION

The 1928 historic Tower Theatre is designed and renovated as an environmentally responsible crown-jewel movie house and community hub dedicated exclusively to cinematic experiences.

When completed, the Tower will serve as a community-based, mission-driven anchor for the 9th & 9th neighborhood. This treasured movie house will be Utah’s cinematic museum, trailblazing environmental responsiblity and serving community through historic, contemporary, and unique technological film screenings, director/actor Q&A’s, cultural/environmental films, panel discussions, and SLFS’ amazing programming and curation projects. It will include museum exhibits for cinema that access our nostalgia for our past and celebrate the future of the medium of film.

RECENT HAPPENINGS

Salt Lake Film Society is thrilled to share that, thanks to our resilience and dedication, we have officially raised funds to begin the schematic phase for the Tower Theatre: Next 100 Years project. This exciting milestone is projected to be completed in 2026 and will engage nearly 40 professionals, including architects, engineers, designers, and consultants. This foundational phase will deliver architectural renderings and secure city approvals—laying the groundwork for the design, development, and construction phases to come.

We proudly kicked off the schematic phase with a dynamic two-day seminar in February, uniting the core creative team that will shape the future of the Tower. This onboarding event introduced engineers, architects, and designers to the Tower’s vision, beginning with a powerful lens: biophilia. Rooted in the concept of humanity’s innate connection to nature, the biophilic approach fosters deep, thoughtful design inspired by the natural world. This unique framework was developed with the guidance of our own Rachel Hodson of Stunning Dismount and Kirstin Weeks of Bio Studio.

We’re also delighted to officially welcome the following architectural, engineering, and design partners who are contributing to this phase:

Prescott Muir Architects
Boston Light & Sound
Griffin EnerG
Bio Studio
Terracon
Abstract Masonry
20/20 Engineering
Wasatch Enverdigris
Spectrum Engineers
ARW Engineers
Skanska
CCC Utah

As always, SLFS leads with purpose and innovation. A highlight of our approach is the introduction of a Project Ethics Mandate, ensuring everyone involved has a standard of equity, environmental, and just practices. This commitment will guide the renovation with integrity, environmental consciousness, and reverence for the Tower’s legacy.

While architectural work progresses, we’re continuing Tower tours with philanthropists and foundation leaders interested in supporting this transformative project. To support the project’s ambitious capital goals, SLFS has partnered with the nationally respected Pathway Group, whose expertise will guide our fundraising strategy as we strive to bring this vision to life.

With spring upon us, we’ve completed a fresh seasonal clean-up of the Tower’s exterior and are committed to maintaining its curb appeal while the building remains closed. Though the interior systems are currently inactive, our team is actively monitoring the site and tending to debris, weeds, and general upkeep. If you notice anything we should be aware of—such as graffiti, damage, or debris—please reach out to us at info@saltlakefilmsociety.org. Our staff are on site frequently monitoring, and your input helps us ensure the Tower remains well cared for as we build toward its future.

Stay tuned, stay inspired—and thank you for being part of the Tower’s future.

WHY IS THE TOWER NOT OPEN?

Strengthening Tower Theatre for the Next 100 Years

The Tower, in its current condition, cannot be opened for operations, and is not in a condition to be inhabited for cinema presentations at this time. Since purchasing the Tower Theatre in December 2022, thanks to a generous grant from the Alternative Visions Fund, Salt Lake Film Society (SLFS) has been dedicated to ensuring this beloved landmark thrives for many more generations of cinema lovers. After the purchase, a thorough assessment revealed the Tower needs essential TLC for its long-term safety and sustainability. We are reaching out to foundational donors who are passionate about historic spaces, the environment, and changing the world and are thrilled to steward the Tower Theatre: Next 100 Years project.

Here’s what’s happening and why planning is such a big deal:

To ensure the building’s longevity, SLFS is working on a plan for significant structural repairs and upgrades. This is a major undertaking because we want to do it right and preserve the Tower Theatre’s historic charm. It is not merely a quick fix; it requires careful planning, skilled work, and a significant budget/fundraising plan of action. It will require community, donor support, and a comprehensive capital campaign. We anticipate the entire process to take years. Our dedicated team will meticulously develop the capital plan, architectural vision, and fundraising strategy to realize the Tower as an environmentally responsible cultural hub for nostalgic, modern, and uncensored cinematic experiences.

Over the years, even the sturdiest structures need a little extra support. Although SLFS has operated Tower Theatre as a steward for 23 years, we have only in the past 18 months, as new owners, been able to address these more substantial opportunities. For 23 years, SLFS, as a rental tenant, maintained the Tower Theatre on a limited budget, relying on generous patrons and donors to keep it running. This included installing new carpeting, ADA viewing areas, roofing, projection systems, sound systems, screens, plaster repairs, HVAC systems, and more.

Following the purchase of the Tower, SLFS engaged engineers and architects to assess and envision the future of this historic space. Structural evaluations revealed the need for safety and sustainability in critical areas. Professionals found structural deflections and visible cracks in the proscenium. The beam/truss supporting the roof of the Tower, and the proscenium head where the screen resides were deemed to need steel reinforcement, prompting a significant change for the building’s auditorium area. Additionally, significant overhaul of electrical systems, HVAC renovations, plumbing, roofing, and ADA access evaluations are required.

This planning presents opportunities to improve this safe space for accessibility, to renew screen size and cinema technology, and to focus on long-term sustainable and environmental preservation of the cinema. Thanks to Alternative Visions Fund, the Tower project will pursue an environmentally responsible path.

We are excited to have finally started this process as owners of the building. While the project will take time, we are committed to preserving the Tower Theatre as a cinematic home for our community. We are starting with foundational donors who can bring substantial resource to the project. If you or your business would like to be involved in the Tower Theatre: Next 100 Years project as a lead donor, please contact us at info@saltlakefilmsociety.org.

SLFS promises to continue offering Tower programming at Broadway Centre Cinemas, including our popular Tower of Terror series each fall.

We express our sincere gratitude to all who have engaged with us about the future of The Tower. Please continue to support SLFS’s mission to exhibit, create, and preserve cinematic experiences by becoming a Red Carpet Club sustainer at SLFStix .org/donate.

With love,

SLFS staff, board, advisory committees, and volunteers

THE TIMELINE

THE PROJECT HISTORY

The Tower Theatre, a 1928 movie house, holds many mysteries and secrets. For 23 years, SLFS rented the Tower Theatre, limiting our potential to invest in the building. In 2021, we planned a modest renovation, but the historic complexity of the building escalated costs. During this time, the Utah Theatre was being demolished, prompting SLFS to purchase the Tower to preserve it for future generations.

In December 2022, after lengthy negotiations and support from the Alternative Visions Fund, SLFS purchased the Tower. By March 2024, we proudly owned the building free and clear, thanks to generous leading support from Alternative Visions Fund. This monumental achievement aligns with our preservation mission, ensuring cinematic adventures continue at the Tower for generations. Building its future will require community support and a major capital campaign.

THE VISIONING PROGRESS

Since acquiring the Tower Theatre in December 2022, the Salt Lake Film Society (SLFS) has been hard at work, collaborating with arts leaders, board members, staff, and community partners to shape the future of the Tower Theatre: Next 100 Years Project. Our goal is to transform the 1928 Tower Theatre into an environmentally responsible hub for cultural, nostalgic, modern, and uncensored cinematic experiences.

As a cornerstone of the 9th and 9th community, the Tower Theatre will continue to be a safe haven for underrepresented voices and those who love exploring new ideas through film. This historic movie theater, the oldest single-screen venue in Utah dedicated solely to film, is a cultural landmark that deserves to be preserved for future generations.

This project will unfold in phases: Visioning, Planning (schematics), Design, and Construction. It will require significant capital investment and a robust fundraising campaign. While fundraising timelines and construction expectations can be unpredictable, we are inspired by similar successful projects, such as Coolidge Corner in Brookline, MA, which took a decade, the Belcourt in Nashville, which took five years, and locally, Spy Hop, which took seven years to build their facility.

Your engagement is crucial. As we progress through each phase, we will keep this website updated and let you know how to stay involved.

Remember, supporting our Broadway Centre Cinemas also strengthens the SLFS mission and the Tower project. You can become a monthly subscriber to the Red Carpet Club and attend films and events at the Broadway to help keep SLFS programs vibrant.

Stay with us. We will keep you posted on our progress and are committed to working diligently on the project. We are actively collaborating with architectural, engineering, and design teams to explore the potential of this unique cinema.

You may notice some essential repairs being made to the Tower throughout this process. These are not part of the capital construction but are necessary to maintain the building until major construction begins.

SLFS has always had the Tower at the heart of our mission, and we will continue to honor its character and purpose throughout the visioning and planning process. After all, Utah’s first cinema with air-conditioning and talkies deserves to keep its projector lamp shining brightly.

Taking on the Tower project in such an unknown climate for the arts, funding, tariffs and other potential barriers, is ambitious. Our goal is to make the Tower Salt Lake Film Society’s premiere venue for director/actor Q&As, cultural and environmental films, panel discussions, archival film access, and various SLFS film programs. We are home to the largest video/DVD archive collection in Utah. The Tower is made by the community, for the community, and will remain accessible to all as a movie house and a place to celebrate the love of cinema.
