These films have been selected to highlight Robert Redford’s acting, directing and producing career.  While well known for his acting in landmark movies like The Sting (1973) and Jeremiah Johnson (1972), Redford also directed and produced films with significant environmental themes, including The Milagro Beanfield War (director, 1988) and A River Runs Through It (director & producer, 1992).  We also feature The Unforeseen (2007), a documentary on a contentious story of development and environmental protection in Austin, Texas, for which Redford served as executive producer and shared his own experience as part of the Austin community.

This film series is held in conjunction with the presentation to Redford of the inaugural Duke LEAF Award, for lifetime environmental achievement in the fine arts.
The award will be presented on April 18 at 2:30 pm in Duke University’s Page Auditorium.
