What is the purpose of the Sundance Film Festival?
The Sundance Film Festival was founded by Robert Redford in an effort to give accreditation to the lesser known indie films and people producing them. He’s big on documentaries, so this is an important part of the festival. The people who attend are asked to evaluate the films they see and the film makers are given awards. It has become a very well-known event and is a lot of times the first step to actually being seen by the big guys.
