Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Festival Fires the Starter’s Pistol on the Annual Film Awards Race The Sundance Film Festival has been hosting the best in independent film since its inception in 1981. Named for his character in the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid , the event was founded by Robert Redford in 1981.

Sania Mirza: A trailblazer like none other
