Film star, producer and Sundance Film Festival founder Robert Redford will be feted at Walker Art Center in Minneapolis as part of a six-week retrospective of his work, September 30- November 11, 2016.

A long-time champion of independent cinema, Redford retains his glamour as an actor and public speaker. He'll be 80 when he takes the stage sometime in November for a public conversation about his career, environmental passions,and no doubt the state of American life, culture and politics.

Tickets for the retrospective will be sold in August, for the dialogue in September. Details to follow.
