Sundance comes to the valley. Lights, camera, Sundance!
The Sundance Film Festival begins today in the US state of Utah, bringing glitz and glamour to the ski town of Park City. When it first launched in 1978, the goal of the festival was to highlight American-made films and attract film-makers to Utah. Robert Redford has long been involved in the festival, serving as chairman at the first event and in the years since, helping it become the media extravaganza it is today. In 1984, Redford’s Sundance Institute took over management of the festival, hence the ‘Sundance’ name, which comes from Redford’s character in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. We look forward to seeing what innovative new films steal the limelight in 2019.
