NEW YORK: Robert Redford has added the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Chaplin Award to his list of honors for his work in front and behind the camera, and the Hollywood star said he still enjoys making movies after more than 50 years in the industry.
The 78-year old, known for films such as “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” “Out of Africa” and “All the President’s Men,” began his career — which has included acting, directing and producing — in the early 1960s.
He founded the Sundance Institute to help emerging film makers 20 years later. The Utah-based Sundance Film Festival is now considered the top US independent film festival.
“It’s a creative enterprise, just like art, just like painting, music. Creating something can be done in different categories,” Redford said on the gala’s red carpet on Monday night.
