Film Festival Fun


Vertigo
The Sundance Film Festival, a showcase for independent cinema, opens tomorrow in Park City, Utah, and runs through January 20.

The festival screens 113 features and sixty short films in this eleven-day event!

The offbeat mood of independent cinema is captured in this poster advertising Vertigo, a 1958 psychological thriller by Alfred Hitchcock. To learn about the movie and artist Saul Bass, visit our online exhibition Posters American Style.
