（1）Who make the movies shown at Sundance？TRAVEL Vol.193 March，2021
CREATIVE HOLIDAY IDEAS
Here are this week's travel sites.If you need a different kind of break，try one of these!
If you want to watch independent films，try the Sundance Film Festival.
Every January for 20 years，Sundance has been the place for independent filmmakers to show off their low-budget- films and documentaries.As the name suggests，major Hollywood studios are not invited in independent films.They are made by actors，directors，and technical groups who come up with good ideas.Never look down on beginning filmmakers.For example，this year，a couple of college students showed a film that became a great success.Films like this really pay off when distributors （發(fā)行商） buy them for up to＄5 million to show in theaters later on.If they're really lucky，the filmmakers can make even more money from other relevant goods.
Feeling awful？Need some medical treatment but you'd really like a holiday，too？Now you can have both!
A number of countries with excellent hospitals and wonderful tourist attractions have started to offer medical vacations.In places Tike Thailand and South Africa，quality medical care enables you to have a surgery at a low cost，as well as time to recover in a beautiful environment.The same surgery costs four times as much in New York.A typical holiday includes one week as a patient in a hospital followed by another week at wonderful neighboring hotel or resort.Imagine floating in the shallow waters near a beautiful island while you restore your health!As with any health treatment，check the reputation of the hospital before you plan your trip.So far，though，there have been few complaints.
