| From silent films to ‘Footloose’ to ‘Napoleon Dynamite,’ 2024 is a historic year for Utah movies |
|
| | A century ago, the premiere of two silent films led to the start of an entertainment movement that bestowed Utah with the nickname “Little Hollywood.” To commemorate the occasion, the Utah Film Commission gathered film aficionados and industry professionals together Thursday in the Capitol. With paintings of the Wild West looming over the attendees, an all-star panel of Lacey Chabert, James D’Arc, Jerusha Hess, Virginia Pearce and Amy Redford reflected on their film work in the Beehive State. The event also unveiled a new exhibit on the fourth floor of the Capitol: “100 Years of Utah Film & Television.” The exhibit explains Utah’s rich history with entertainment and has artifacts from media filmed previously. | Utah’s 2024 legislative session, which starts Tuesday, will tackle several sensitive issues, including how principles of diversity, equity and inclusion are implemented on public college campuses. Another bill would determine who can go into a single-gender restroom or locker room. Lawmakers are also looking at whether to give Utahns another tax cut. These bills and others will likely lead to some heated debate at the Capitol in Salt Lake City starting Tuesday, but with Republican supermajorities in both chambers, GOP leaders will set much of the agenda for the next 45 days.
