#TBT: #Sundance #FilmFestival founder #RobertRedford palling around with #SFFS Board Member & former #AMPAS President #SidGanis at #SFIFF 52. That year (2009), we honored Redford with the Festival's Peter J. Owens Award, a prize that we present each spring to an actor whose work exemplifies brilliance, independence & integrity.
