In 2010 the Sundance Institute began Sundance Film Festival U.S.A. where a handful of films from that year’s fest screened in select theaters nationwide on one day during the festival. Today Sundance announced the theaters that will take part in the 2012 edition on Jan. 26.

The cities and theaters participating are:
–Ann Arbor, MI – The Michigan Theatre
–Boston, MA – Coolidge Corner Theatre
–Brooklyn, NY – BAM
–Chicago, IL – Music Box Theatre
–Houston, TX – Sundance Cinemas Houston
–Nashville, TN – Belcourt Theatre
–Orlando, FL – Enzian Theater
–San Francisco, CA – Sundance Kabuki Cinemas
–Tucson, AZ – The Loft

Tickets for each screening will be available through the theater’s box office.

As in the previous years, filmmakers will travel from the festival in Utah to the nine cities. In each city, the filmmaker will introduce and screen their film and participate in a Q&A with the audience.

The films taking part will be announced in December.

In the past, films that have participated in Sundance Film Festival U.S.A. include Like Crazy, My Idiot Brother, Jack Goes Boating and Cyrus.
