1683 Gathering from all directions
2014This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Sundance Film Festival. Unknowingly, the film festival founded by Robert Redford has become a mecca for countless independent films around the world, and has become the last hot spot for artistic creation. , both the symbolic and practical meanings are becoming increasingly clear.
It is true that after thirty years of development and precipitation, Sundance has gradually formed its own aesthetic style, and then a kind of "Sundance style" works were born, and the edges and frames of those artistic creations have also been somewhat restricted. , in a sense, this is exactly the same as the development of the Oscars and the three major European film festivals; but the reason why Sundance is Sundance is because it still maintains the freedom of artistic creation..
Every work that appears in Sundance has its own characteristics and the stylistic imprint of the creator. Maybe it does not meet the favored standards of the "Sundance Series" and cannot win recognition in the main competition unit, let alone rely on the Sundance The halo of dance is all the way to the awards season; but Sundance still provides a stage for self-expression, allowing all kinds of different artistic creations to show themselves in a weird way, and then quietly waiting for the appreciation of like-minded people.
This freedom is precisely the core idea that Sundance has always adhered to since its founding..
Sundance is not a panacea, let alone perfect, but Robert Redford has opened up a free space for artistic creation in the small valley of Park City, hoping that those sparks can ignite a revolution. /The fire of life allows the vitality of film art to continue continuously.
This is the most valuable thing！
This year is the 30th birthday of the Sundance Film Festival. Robert Redford hopes to further promote the development of independent films and make a phased summary. It has been quietly operating since the end of Sundance last year. Not only did he cooperate with Cohen The brothers launched a film retrospective and invited different guests to Park City. During the Sundance Film Festival, two small fan forums were held every day for exchanges and discussions..
Renly Hall is one of them.
Just relying on Renly's name, the 30th Sundance Film Festival repeatedly broke the historical record of moviegoers, truly letting people feel Renly's unparalleled and powerful appeal in the entire North American market..
In addition to Renly, Robert and the Coen brothers also invited a star-studded guest lineup, including Ryan Gosling, Jessica Chastain, Jake Gyllenhaal, Rooney Mara, Keri... Mulligan, Tom Holland, etc., their attendance is more or less related to Renly.
In addition, it also includes Catherine Keener, Steve Soderbergh, Sean Penn, Jeff Nichols, David Lowery, Fran Cece McDormand, etc., their attendance relied on the appeal of Robert and the Coen brothers..
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the entire Sundance event. Robert has mobilized all his contacts in the industry, not just pursuing big names and starlight, but also hoping that truly talented creators in the field of independent films can show up and compete with them. Exchanges between other artistic creators play a decisive role in promoting film creation.
Not just Robert, but the Coen brothers and Renly also played important roles in this celebration.
Gathered from all directions, congratulations come from all directions! This is definitely the best word to describe this year's Sundance Film Festival. Apart from Renly, there are too many things to focus on and focus on. The festival has just opened for three days, and the historical record of moviegoers has been repeatedly refreshed. , this is definitely not just the work of Renly alone..
Thirty years later, Robert hopes this will be a turning point for the future of Sundance and independent film..
It is worth mentioning that during this year's awards season, Robert received a lot of attention with his one-man film "All Is Lost". He successively won Best Actor nominations from multiple film critics' outposts, and then successfully entered the Golden Globe Awards. Among the top five for Best Actor in a Drama Series, many people said that this work fully possesses the strength and quality to win Robert his second Oscar nomination for Best Actor..
Although Robert Redford is an iconic figure throughout Hollywood - he is the pinnacle of the first generation of handsome blond men in the United States. Robert starred in the first version of "The Great Gatsby", and "Tiger" "The Kid and the Kid" even teamed up with "The Kid", which was released two years earlier, to change the entire history of Hollywood movies! Later, the birth of Brad Pitt was completely based on Robert's template and route..
However, in his entire career, Robert has only won one Oscar nomination for Best Actor in 1973's "The Liar".
If "All Is Lost" can once again enter the second stage of the awards season, it will also be a legend for Robert, and it is very likely to create the historical record of the longest interval between the first nomination and the second nomination; but Robert did not appear at all. During the awards season, any public relations activities of the academy are launched, and the Sundance Film Festival is focused on it..
When Oscar Nominations Announced, "All Is Lost" Was Out Without Any Suspense.
This handsome blond man who became famous at a young age and dedicated his life to movies, his passion for movies deep down has far exceeded the attraction brought by the aura of fame and fortune. This is something that is truly awe-inspiring. It is also the soul of the Sundance Film Festival..
“How are you, are you ready? "Without too much politeness or pleasantries, Joel got to the point directly..
This afternoon, the fan symposium hosted by Renly is about to be officially held. In order to avoid the premiere of "The Big Bang", Robert deliberately arranged the symposium in advance, hoping that it would not dominate the discussion and affect the discussion of "The Big Bang"; this is also As a result, the Sundance Film Festival had just opened, and it immediately ushered in the first climax of Park City..
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a surprised look, "Do you need any special preparations? What should I do? I thought today was just a simple question and answer session, and I didn't prepare anything..”
“Ha, ha, ha, it’s very funny.” Joel didn’t buy it at all and complained mercilessly, “You only need to stand on the stage and share your acting experience and understanding of the movie, that’s enough. Even if You can easily control the whole place without any preparation. I have never seen you panic in similar public situations..”
Ethan, who was sitting opposite, explained patiently, "Don't worry, this is just a sharing and exchange meeting. There is no need to prepare anything specially. We have arranged some simple links. You only need to follow the steps, and that's it." Yeah, it’s definitely simpler than a talk show or a press conference..”
“After all, I am still unprepared, and now it is too late to make temporary preparations. I think... I can only adapt to the situation. I hope that today's symposium will not ruin my brand." Renly joked in a relaxed tone, and then looked at Turning to Rooney, "I'm going to attend the symposium now, what about you? Come together?？”
“There must be a crowd of reporters at the venue, and it’s probably packed with seats, so I won’t go over and join in the fun.” Rooney said with a smile that she will attend the premiere of “Breaking Drummer” in two days as a “friend”, but there will be no one today. It is necessary to show up to create a topic. The keen sense of reporters must not be underestimated. "I will continue to study here and enjoy the rare peaceful time.".”
Rooney raised the books on the table and winked at Renly with a sweet smile. She seemed to be complaining that the slapstick had interrupted her reading rhythm. Then, without waiting for Renly to refute, she turned her head. Nodding to the Coen brothers, "Sorry, I won't bother you today..”
Naturally, the Coen brothers didn't mind. They said a few simple polite words, then stood up and left..
Renly stood up and showed a meaningful smile towards Rooney. He didn't say anything more, and he didn't say you or me. He just said "goodbye" and left the coffee house with the Coen brothers..
Rooney sat there and was confused. She didn't understand what Renly's smile just meant. After watching Renly and his group disappear, she still had no answer. She looked away, and then saw the book placed opposite her. ——Renly's books.
Before Renly left, he probably turned the book upside down. Sitting in the direction of Rooney was the correct way to open it, but sitting in Renly's position was the wrong way. This was obviously secretly complaining about Rooney's embarrassment and frustration just now. Embarrassed, this is a way to make fun of Rooney's behavior of staying in the coffee house to "read".
Only then did Rooney understand. Her first reaction was to turn around and try to refute Renly. Then she realized that Renly was no longer visible..
Rooney shook her head helplessly and amusedly, and sat there blankly. She didn't know what she thought of, but the smile at the corner of her mouth rose slightly, and finally it all fell into her eyes. Then she lowered her eyes and became quiet again. I came down and started to look through the books in my hands, and then I realized that my books were also upside down.——
The position opposite Renly and the position opposite Rooney are exactly the opposite of Renly's books..
When exactly did Renly accomplish this secretly?？
Rooney was truly shocked. As expected, the gap between them in terms of the number of pranks was really huge..
……
“It seems that you are in a very good mood, which is good news for the symposium." Joel noticed Renly's brisk steps and couldn't help but tease him..
Renly's smile was deeply reflected in his eyes, "Being able to communicate with other movie lovers is an extremely happy thing. Of course it is worth being happy..”
“I think you will be even more surprised when you arrive at the scene." Ethan added meaningfully..
Soon, Renly understood what Ethan's hint was about. Even though he was mentally prepared, his pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly..
