Ranking among the top five events in the whole world, the Sundance Film Festival is the largest and independent award- giving body for movies in the United States. It is held each year in three cities in Utah namely Salt Lake, Ogden and Park City as well as in a captivating resort.

The Sundance Film Festival is a premiere showcase of the novel masterpieces not just from American motion- picture enthusiasts but also those that originate from different corners of the globe. It consists of competitive fields for independent dramatic and documentary videos as well as a group that do not vie for any category. Like any other huge celebrations where it involves pecuniary matters, both their sponsors and giveaways have turned out to be controversial.

History
Started in 1978, the Sundance Film Festival was conceived in an effort to capture more motion picture enthusiasts to Utah. In that year, the primary goal was to highlight a series of classic movies as well as panel discussions in the cinematic industry. However, it was then joined with a small program of creations that are not of the “Hollywood system”.

The involvement of actor Robert Redford, who also happens to be a resident in the state, assisted in the growth of the Sundance Film Festival. He then became the inaugural chairman and having his name attached to the affair, it was given more attention. It was then moved from the months of September to January upon the advice of director Sydney Pollack. He suggested that transferring the schedule would attract more notice in Hollywood especially that the venue would be in a ski fort during winter.
The likes of Kevin Smith, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, James Wan and Jim Jarmusch actually had their debut in the said gathering for motion picture enthusiasts. It is also responsible for bringing a closer look into movies such as Saw, El Mariachi, Clerks, Videotape and Napoleon Dynamite.

Institute
In 1981, Robert Redford founded a non- profit organization that was dedicated to the year- round development of artists including the exhibition of their silver screen projects. Since it initiation, it was enhanced to a continental identified resource for thousands of sovereign composers, writers and actors. The values of ingenuity and discovery had been constantly inculcated to define the products of its institute.

Their programs include supporting non- fiction motion picture enthusiats through their Documentary Film Curriculum by providing a year- round assistance through their funds as well as series of schemes that would encourage the exploration of a more innovative storytelling as they increase in broader audiences. Each year, about 20- 25 emerging motion picture enthusiasts participate in their laboratory designed for them alone. It is an on- going practical advice that has post- production plans and financial support through fellowship chances.
