A3 was comfortable with his latest offering. They received the film enthusiastically. Robert Redford, the founder of the Sundance Film Festival, likewise had words of praise forAltman. "When I think of the definition of independent film, in my mind there is no greater example of that than Robert Altman," Redford said. Redford also spoke to the audience about why he organized the festival in the first place. "The festival is a celebration of the artist; that's what we're about," Redford said. "It's the filmmakers' stories, vision, unique passion and commitment that's what we're here for, to celebrate their work. "Their stories, for some, will be thrilling, for some appalling but never dull. That's how we like it," Redford said. In "Cookie's Fortune," Altman hopes audiences will pick up on what he feels is the main theme of the movie: family pride. "The whole theme is quite a statement on family pride and social mores and things we do in this country, all countries," he said. "Everybody knows what happens to everyone else, but they don't admit to it or talk about it. Everybody keeps the closet with the skeletons closed." In "Cookie's Fortune," there are many skeletons in the closet, and incorporating the play "Salome" into the characters' lives brings the skeletons out for the Orcutt family: there are unaccepted relatives and men- - Professor Racism alive TwistJng tax code Racism may not be as obvious as it used to be, but it's still very much alive.
