Nope, Robert Redford is not moving Sundance from Park City Utah. But he is doing the next best thing for the rest of us. Sellect titles will hit the road with their filmmakers.
I love this idea. Not only do we enjoy a taste of Sundance. But it could encourage more of us to attend Sundance and vacation in Park City Utah.
Sundance takes a hike with screenings around US
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival is going on the road for one night next winter.
The independent-film showcase is sending eight films playing at the festival for screenings in eight cities around the country on Jan. 28.
One film will go to each of the following cities: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, N.Y., Nashville, Tenn., Madison, Wis., Ann Arbor, Mich., and Brookline, Mass.
The directors of each film will travel along to introduce their work and answer audience questions afterward. The films will be announced after the festival releases its lineup in December.
The screenings will allow audiences around the country a taste of the festival that runs Jan. 21-31 in Park City, Utah.
Now I have some bad news. G.W. Pierce Auto Parts placed Sky Vue Drive-in and various other properties up for auction. Dennis Jackson will conduct the sale on Dec. 1,2009.
The theater occupies about 8-12 acres in the center of a 100 acre farm. How the sale will effect next season, slated to open in april, remains to be seen.
