Sundance film fest finally returns to mountain

INDIE filmmakers and Hollywood stars have packed their snow boots and are heading to the mountains of Utah for the first time in three years, as the in-person Sundance festival returns today.

Co-founded by Robert Redford, and held in wintry sub-zero temperatures at an altitude of 2,150m, Sundance’s screenings and panels are a key launching pad for the coming year’s top independent and documentary films.
