In other exciting news for Houston film lovers:

Sundance Cinemas Houston has been chosen to be one of the locations for the 2012 Houston Cinema Arts Society film festival.

"We are excited to join Sundance Cinemas in a new era for film exhibition in Houston and look forward to a great partnership for the 2012 Festival, November 7 - 11", said Trish Rigdon, Executive Director of the Houston Cinema Arts Society.

This news was delivered by Robert Redford, via a special film produced on the set of his latest film, THE COMPANY YOU KEEP, played at the Celebration of the Motion Picture Arts event on November 21.

“We always strive to be good neighbors, friends and supporters as we all share the same cooperative spirit,” said Sundance Group President Robert Redford. “We're proud to be affiliated with such a great group of local organizations that serve the arts and members of the community,” added Redford.

In that spirit, on January 26th, 2012, Sundance Film Festival USA will have a screening at the new Sundance Cinemas Houston. A film and a filmmaker are plucked mid-festival from snowy Park City Utah, and sent to Houston for a special presentation of their film, including a Q+A session. They are flown right back to the Festival in time for the awards ceremonies. Tickets for Sundance Film Festival USA will be available in December from sundancecinemas.com.
