FOUR FILMS. FOUR DECADES. ONE LEGACY.
We gather to celebrate the life and legacy of one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons: Robert Redford. Actor, director, activist, and founder of the Sundance Institute, Redford transformed not only cinema, but the very way stories are told on screen.
His career spanned six decades of artistry and unforgettable performances, earning him an Academy Award for directing and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Few have left a mark on American film as deeply as Redford.
We’ll be showcasing four films, each representing a different era of his extraordinary career, from the 1960s through the 1990s. This full-day marathon is both a tribute and an invitation to revisit the stories that defined him… and, in many ways, defined us.
