Where Is Sundance Film Festival 2018?

In August of 1978 in Salt Lake City, UT, the very first Sundance Film Festival was held. Then, it was known as the Utah/US Film Festival and was organized with the purpose of enticing filmmakers to shoot in the Beehive State. Chaired by Robert Redford and founded by Sterling Van Wagenen, John Earle, and Cirina Hampton Catania, the festival showcased American-made films and drew interest to the independent industry that worked in the shadow of Hollywood.

At the time, Turner made it clear that his fellow Republicans were parroting Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine and its relationship with NATO members. That claim came after House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Michael McCaul, who said he thinks "Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base."
