Sundance takes a hike with screenings around US
LOS ANGELES — Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival is going on the road for one night next winter.
The independent-film showcase is sending eight films playing at the festival for screenings in eight cities around the country on Jan. 28.
One film will go to each of the following cities: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, N.Y., Nashville, Tenn., Madison, Wis., Ann Arbor, Mich., and Brookline, Mass.
The directors of each film will travel along to introduce their work and answer audience questions afterward. The films will be announced after the festival releases its lineup in December.
The screenings will allow audiences around the country a taste of the festival that runs Jan. 21-31 in Park City, Utah.
