Scene at Sundance Cinemas

What is the Scene at Sundance Cinemas?

We are proud to host a wide range of screenings, film festivals, filmmaker Q&A's and events of all kinds. Sometimes there are some pretty cool people seen at Sundance.

	Benjamin Bratt & Peter Bratt - La Mission Premiere Peter Bratt directed his brother Benjamin in this heartfelt, colorful and significant look at San Francisco's Mission District. The brothers premiered the film at the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas amidst friends, co-stars, filmmakers and a lot of low-rider cars. This was taken back stage at the 'big Kabuki' right before a spirited Q&A session. Photo credit: Jennifer Reiley
	The Art of Activism Series - Robert Redford On February 4th, 2010, the Redford Center hosted the first of a series of conversations called 'The Art of Activism', which is meant to present and promote awareness of activism in the Bay Area. Each time one high profile activist is interviewed (this time it was Sundance Group President Robert Redford), plus two local activists are featured. Lee Bycel, Redford Center Executive director is seen interviewing Mr. Redford on stage. Photo credit: Peter Klueger
