SALT LAKE CITY — While Sundance Film Festival organizers continue to plan a tribute to Robert Redford at its final Park City event next year, another organization unveiled plans for its own festival of sorts to honor the late, legendary actor who transformed Utah's film scene.
Salt Lake Film Society announced Wednesday the creation of "Redford Remembered," a monthlong retrospective celebrating the life and work of Redford, who died at his Sundance home last month at the age of 89. The program will run from Nov. 2 through Nov. 27, screening 12 of his highest-acclaimed movies at Broadway Centre Cinemas, 111 E. 300 South in Salt Lake City.
The theater will screen different titles every day throughout the month, offering audiences opportunities to rewatch his iconic work on the silver screen. The 12 movies selected for the tribute are:
- "All The President's Men" (1976)
- "All is Lost" (2013)
- "The Way We Were" (1973)
- "The Great Waldo Pepper" (1975)
- "Downhill Racer" (1969)
- "The Natural" (1984)
- "The Great Gatsby" (1974)
- "Jeremiah Johnson" (1972)
- "The Sting" (1973)
- "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" (1969)
- "The Electric Horseman" (1979)
- "The Candidate" (1972)
"Robert Redford's artistry shaped generations of cinemagoers, both through his legendary acting roles and his visionary leadership as founder of Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival. With 'Redford Remembered,' we're celebrating the timeless power of his performances and the indelible mark he has left on American film and culture," said Tori A. Baker, president and CEO of Salt Lake Film Society, in a statement.
Tickets will be available on the theater's website. Another program highlighting his directorial work is planned for next year.
Sundance Film Festival officials announced in July that they'd hold an "exceptional evening" honoring Redford at the 2026 festival, the last in Utah. Redford began overseeing the annual event in the 1980s, after Utah transferred the Utah/United States Film Festival over to his Sundance Institute.
Following his death, local leaders remembered Redford for his other work in Utah. That included his environmental stewardship efforts in the state, and the role that his Sundance Mountain Resort has played in the state's vast snow recreation industry.
"Robert Redford came to Utah and fell in love with this place," Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said last month. "He cherished our landscapes and built a legacy that made Utah a home for storytelling and creativity. Through Sundance and his devotion to conservation, he shared Utah with the world."
