The Sundance Film Festival is one of the most prestigious and important festivals of the year. It is the largest independent film festival in the United States. The festival itself has had its drama as to where it will take place after next year’s fest, its contract with Utah will expire and there are rumblings that it will relocate elsewhere. Since its debut 46 years ago, it has become synonymous with Hollywood legend Robert Redford, the state of Utah, and the ever-changing landscape of independent film. Redford is not getting younger, indie films will keep changing but the state of Utah should do everything in its power to retain this cultural landmark.
