For its last dance in Utah, Sundance is paying tribute to the late Robert Redford, who started the Festival for Independent Film more than 40 years ago.
This year, the festival is screening some of its old hits like Little Miss Sunshine, as well as buzzy films like
The Moment, a mockumentary starring pop singer Charlie XCX.
Charlie XCX is in three films at Sundance, including The Gallerist with Natalie Portman and Jenna Ortega, and I Want Your Sex with Olivia Wilde.
Wilde also directed and stars in The Invite with Seth Rogen and Penelope Cruz.
Among the indie films premiering at the festival are midnight movies, documentaries, and TV episodes.
Sundance continues all week in person and online.

On pedestrian-only Main Street in Park City, Utah, people are talking about what may happen to the festival and the town when Sundance moves in 2027. The next stop will be either Salt Lake City, Boulder, or Cincinnati. Some shop owners say they'll be glad to get rid of the traffic, but some locals are handing out stickers urging Sundance to stay in Utah.
