We continue to process the loss of our founder and friend Robert Redford. His vision for nurturing and uplifting independent voices has inspired generations of artists and redefined cinema around the world. As stewards of his remarkable legacy, we are committed to carrying that purpose forward. We also wanted to share the Sundance Institute Robert Redford Legacy page with a touching tribute to our visionary founder and an inspiring video. |
