The Sundance that has returned is markedly different than the one that last unfolded in 2020, mere months before much of the world went into lockdown and the movie business ground to a standstill. Some studio executives have decided not to make the trek up the mountain, preferring to screen things from the comfort of home. That’s upset sales agents, who believe their chances of sparking bidding wars decrease without the excitement that comes from a packed premiere.
Joana Vicente, CEO of the Sundance Institute, the non-profit behind the festival, echoed Redford’s words, while also hailing the beauty of coming together.
