LOS ANGELES (AFP) - The Sundance film festival unveiled plans on Wednesday (Dec 2) to screen premieres at drive-ins and arthouse theatres across the United States and online, as the movie industry continues to adapt to the crippling effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Co-founded by actor-director Robert Redford some four decades ago and known for introducing indie classics from Quentin Tarantino's debut Reservoir Dogs to the Oscar-winning Whiplash, Sundance typically takes place each January and February in the mountains of western state of Utah.
