If last year’s event felt distinctly muted, this year’s was openly, unsurprisingly elegiac. Couched as a “meaningful tribute” to Redford, it included a gala crowded with alumni (Ryan Coogler, Ethan Hawke, Ava DuVernay) and an inaugural annual prize, the Robert Redford Luminary Award (given to the actor Ed Harris and the Hungarian filmmaker Gyula Gazdag). This year, some of the material that precedes screenings also served as mini-commemorations of Redford. “It’s my hope,” he said in one clip, “that if we can give people the opportunity to express the unexpected perspective then that will open eyes and minds.”
