100 Years of Utah Film & TV

"Over the last century, our landscapes have sparked the imaginations of some of the greatest storytellers in the world and have also inspired many to see these places for themselves,” said Utah Film Commission Director Virginia Pearce. “The 2024 celebration is an opportunity for all of us to celebrate not only the iconic film and television moments that were made in Utah but the people and places behind those moments.”

The Utah Film Commission, in collaboration with the Utah Division of Arts & Museums has curated this extension of the 100 Years of Utah Film & Television exhibition that is currently available at the Utah State Capitol.

SALT LAKE CITY—Jan. 11, 2024— One hundred years after Utah made its film debut, the Utah Film Commission, which is also celebrating 50 years this year, has unveiled the “100 Years of Film & Television” exhibit at the Utah State Capitol. From Jan. 11 through the end of 2024, the 4th floor of the Utah State Capitol building will host an exhibit highlighting some of the thousands of productions that have been filmed in Utah, featuring the people and places that have brought these films and television shows to life over the last century. The exhibit was inspired by James V. D’Arc’s book, “When Hollywood Came to Utah.”

​

Soon the Utah Division of Arts and Museums will be unveiling a permanent, immersive experience; the Utah Historic Film Trail, with markers at memorable locations seen on the big and small screens across the state!​
