With powerful performances in films like The Sting, All The President s Men and Out Of Africa making his case, and his mark, as an actor, Robert Redford then expanded his horizons and ours stepping behind the lens to become one of only six actors ever to win a Best Director Academy Award®, as he was saluted for Ordinary People in 1980. Pursuing his passion for the art of film, Redford went on to revolutionize independent cinema in 1980 by launching the acclaimed Sundance Institute for aspiring filmmakers. His charm, wit, and wisdom make this interview, taped in 2004, an effective reminder that before there was the Sundance Institute, there was the Sundance Kid.
