2024 marks 100 years since the first film shot in Utah premiered and also the
50th anniversary of the Utah Film Commission, formed in 1974. The Utah Film Commission will
celebrate these milestones with a year of exhibits, events, and film
screenings. Many cities and counties around the state share a part of our
early filmmaking history and during this Anniversary year they will celebrate
all of the people, locations, and productions that have made Utah. America’s
Film Set. Ⓡ
Celebrating the cinematic moments that have happened throughout Utah’s
communities, this traveling exhibit showcases the history and timeline of
film through photographs and stories.
