Robert Redford, kicking off Sundance, wears T-shirt from long-time Boulder restaurant

Robert Redford, on stage Thursday in Park City, Utah, to open the Sundance Film Festival, sported a long-sleeve T-shirt with a logo for The Sink, a long-time Boulder restaurant. Redford, 81, founder of the festival, attended the University of Colorado in the mid-1950s and worked at The Sink while a college student. Joined onstage by Sundance Institute executive director Keri Putnam and film director John Cooper, Redford and the panel addressed a range of topics including fake news and the current state of journalism. Redford, who portrayed reporter Bob Woodward of The Washington Post in the 1976 film “All the President’s Men,” told the audience he’s always been “a huge fan of journalism.” “Journalism represents the truth and getting the truth to the people,” Redford said. He also tackled a question about disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein, who had attended multiple Sundance festivals in years past.
