Forty years of Sundance.
Gosh!
The film festival kicked off its 40th edition since Robert Redford’s Sundance Institute took over operation of the old United States Film Festival in 1985. This year’s edition of the best independent filmmaking from around the world kicked off Jan. 18 in a very Utah way.
It gathered some of today’s biggest names in movies for a fundraiser at the DeJoria Events Center in Kamas, the Gateway to the Uintas, population 2,092
Hundreds of screenings later, the festival concludes this weekend with final showings of the award-winning works.
It just shows that there is no place too small for good movies — and major movie stars — if someone will do the hard work of putting it together. Bit by bit. Piece by piece. Ounce by ounce.
It also shows the ongoing affection some big-time actors, directors and producers have for the festival. That includes “Oppenheimer” director Christopher Nolan, one of the visitors to Kamas, who screened his second film, “Memento,” there in 2001.
The Sundance Film Festival has been doing just that, making Utah generally, and Park City specifically, one of the centers of the independent filmmaking world.
