It seems that the Sundance 2025 Film Festival avoided extremely anti-trumps of political demonstrations that became synonymous with Festival in recent yearsAccording to a report that Variety posted on Tuesday.
After President Donald Trump opened for his first term of 2017, the festival hosted countless anti-trump demonstrations and speech.

“It’s a quick eight years, and it’s a completely different picture. Trump has returned to power, but the resistance movement he launched did not appear in the City Park,” Variety said.
The media entry argued that the lack of political theater at this year’s festival was partially design, and the publicists asked journalists to avoid asking the political issues of their clients.
“The publicists begged journalists to avoid asking the political issues of their clients, while celebrities who had previously emerged, swinging against the Maga Maga movement were less eager for sound,” Variety said.
Although there were no “big demonstrations against a new administration”, so far, according to Variety, many films that premiered at the Festival “had infallible political tones, emphasizing the communities attacked by Trump and his followers or offered an alternative to the world’s vision.”

Toto said Fox News Digital To believe that there are many factors in the game.
“Krim a few factors to continue poor resistance. The industry is in trouble thanks to pandemic outburst, a duel 2023 hits the industry and, lately, devastating fires La. The actors realize that they will directly do not help politically in such a bottom. Time.” is a toto.
Hollywood may start to realize that their impact on the public has been greatly reduced in the last four years, and the 2024 elections have given this theory some legs.
Toto pointed out that celebrities “did everything they could to pull Kamala Harris over the goal and failed. They recognize that their influence has disappeared and Maga is on the rise.”

Although the irrational fear of retaliation from Trump’s administration against celebrities who are critical of the president can also play a role in their decisions on the release of politics at this year’s festival, says Toto.
“Several stars and publicists, have an irrational fear that they will be punished for criticizing all things Trump. It’s more projection than anything else. The hosts pushed Trump for almost a decade on late nights and no one sits in their gulag,” said Toto .
