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 Charli XCX.

Don't you just think the whole, like, keep having a bright summer thing is a bit cringe?

It's all cringe.

Charli 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.

Nick had been very candid about using all kinds of drugs, including meth and heroin, and he said he had many, many relapses.

I heard him on a podcast talking about how he hated getting sober and how he sometimes chose to be homeless rather than going back to rehab.

Well, Nick Reiner is 32 years old, born in Los Angeles, and one of film director Rob Reiner's four children.

Nick says he started using drugs when he was young.

He was just 15 years old when he began spending years in and out of rehab and addiction treatment centers.

Here's how he described himself to NPR in 2016.

Nick has been very candid about using all kinds of drugs, including meth and heroin, and he said he had many, many relapses.

I heard him on a podcast talking about how he hated getting sober and how he sometimes

chose to be homeless rather than going back to rehab.

But 10 years ago, after bouncing around in and out of halfway homes and treatment centers, Nick decided to co-write a screenplay based on some of his experiences.

Father Rob Reiner produced and directed the movie Being Charlie, about a troubled teen who has a turbulent relationship with his famous father.
