The annual Sundance Film Festival 2012 opened on Thursday, Jan. 19 in Park City, Utah. Opening night included a documentary movie, "The Queen of Versailles" that reflects the challenges Americans are going through in this tough economy - from a rich perspective. This film is about a self-made billionaire couple who had a vision of their 90,000 square foot dream mansion and ran into obstacles along the way. They eventually realized they had to downsize and reflect on what was really more important in life.
At the press conference, the founder of the festival, movie legend Robert Redford, acknowledged the dark time that America is going through and their feeling of hopelessness. But he said the festival will bring some happiness during its 10-day run, ending on Sunday Jan. 29. There are over 100 films being showcased here by independent filmmakers from all over the world.
