Sundance film festival - a brief presentaion

History of Sundance Film Festival

Sundance began in Salt Lake City in August 1978 as the Utah/US Film Festival in an effort to attract more filmmakers to Utah. It was founded by Sterling Van Wagenen, head of Robert Redford's company Wildwood Enterprises, Inc, and John Earle of the Utah Film Commission. The 1978 festival featured films such as Deliverance, A Streetcar Named Desire, Midnight Cowboy, Mean Streets, and Sweet Smell of Success.

It is the largest independent film festival in the United States, with more than 46,660 attending in 2016. It takes place each January in Park City, Utah, and at the Sundance Resort (a ski resort near Provo, Utah), and acts as a showcase for new work from American and international independent filmmakers. The festival consists of competitive sections for American and international dramatic and documentary films, both feature films and short films, and a group of out-of-competition sections. Many films premiering at Sundance have gone on to be nominated and win Oscars such as Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in a Leading Role.

Growth of the festival

Founded by Robert Redford in 1981, the Sundance Institute took over the festival in 1985 and changed its name to the United States Film Festival. It wasn’t renamed the Sundance Film Festival until 1991. “Sundance” was the name of Redford’s character in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Over the years, the festival has evolved from a low-key venue for low-budget, independent producers from outside the Hollywood system, to a media spectacle for Hollywood celebrity actors, paparazzi, and luxury lounges put up by corporations unrelated to Sundance. In recent years, festival organisers have attempted to limit these activities, commencing in 2007 with their ongoing Focus On Film campaign. Smaller festivals such as; Slamdance, Nodance, Slumdance, It-dance, X-Dance, Lapdance, Tromadance and The Park City Film Music Festival, cropped up around Sundance in the Park City area, though all except Slamdance are no longer around.

What type of films do they show?

The Sundance Film Festival brings together the most original storytellers and the most adventurous audiences. Since 1985, hundreds of films premiered at the Festival have received critical acclaim and reached global audiences hungry for new ideas and voices. The festival’s  annual program includes dramatic and documentary features, short films, and episodic content. They also host daily filmmaker conversations, panel discussions, and other events. There had been astronomical growth experienced by the festival during the 1990s and 2000s that created a need to expand the number of films screened and introduce more effective ways of grouping them together for easy digestion by the audience. Over the years, the festival has experimented with a range of different sidebars and today, no less than 12 separate sections make up the Sundance Film Festival program.

Key historical films

Sex, Lies, and Videotape launched the modern independent film movement here in 1989 … Directed by Steven Soderbergh the film made at a budget of just $1.2 million, Sex, Lies, and Videotape captured the Audience Award for Dramatic Film at the 1989 Sundance Film Festival, as well as the Palm d’Or at the 1989 Cannes Film Festival. The film eventually grossed $24.7 million. The film, which starred Andie MacDowell, James Spader, Laura San Giacomo and Peter Gallagher, launched the career of Soderbergh, who as a struggling filmmaker had served as a volunteer driver for festivalgoers at Sundance the year before. Today, Sex, Lies, and Videotape is considered one of the most influential movies in independent film history. In 2006, the film was added to the United States Library of Congress’ National Film Registry as being deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

Reservoir Dogs caused quite a stir at Sundance in 1992 … Quentin Tarantino’s debut effort, Reservoir Dogs, premiered at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival and became the event’s most talked about film. The offbeat crime thriller starred Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Steve Buscemi, Chris Penn, Tim Roth, Lawrence Tierney and Tarantino himself as “Mr. Brown.” Empire magazine has named Reservoir Dogs the “Greatest Independent Film of All Time.”
