As the Sundance Film Festival weighs the possibility of leaving Utah, its rebellious younger sibling has already packed its bags.
Slamdance, the unaffiliated festival that has run parallel to Sundance and celebrated outsider cinema in Park City since 1995, has officially relocated to Los Angeles. The organization announced its presence in town with the inaugural Indie Awards ceremony in December, and will break from its Sundance-adjacent schedule for its 30th edition, which will runs from February 20-26.
In addition to its lineup — which features 146 films, with all competition titles hailing from first-time directors at budgets of $1 million or less — Slamdance has announced more details about its plans to run a Los Angeles festival. Screenings will take place at the Director’s Guild of America and Quixote West Hollywood, with a special opening night event at the Egyptian Theater on February 20. Films will also be available to stream on the Slamdance Channel...
