TOPIC: Remembering Robert Redford

We recently lost star, filmmaker and activist Robert Redford at the age of 89. In Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, The Sting, The Candidate, Jeremiah Johnson, The Way We Were, Three Days of the Condor, All the President’s Men, The Great Waldo Pepper, Brubaker, The Natural, Sneakers, and many more, Redford made being a movie star seem easy. So easy that as Richard Linklater recently said, we took Redford for granted. Much of what he did was on screen was internal, absorbing what was going on around him and reacting.

Redford seamlessly moved to directing with critically acclaimed films such as Ordinary People, Quiz Show and The River Runs Through It. Off screen, he created the Sundance Film Lab and Festival, providing guidance and opportunities to many independent filmmakers who otherwise may have been overlooked. What did Redford represent, why did he make such a large impact, and what is his legacy?

Please RSVP to atspector@hotmail.com and you'll get the Zoom link 1-2 days before the discussion.
