The 20th annual Slamdance Film Festival will run concurrently with the 2014 Sundance Film Festival -- January 17-23, 2014 in Park City, Utah. Last year I stumbled into Slamdance a couple of days before the fest wrapped up, but this year I've placed it at the the top of my "things to do in Park City when not at Sundance" above things like skiing, sleeping and eating.
The infectious and dynamic vibe throughout the sole venue of the Treasure Mountain Inn, in the historic Old Town portion of Park City, makes it a great place to enjoy the well-rounded programming and social events. As the only festival programmed by filmmakers, Slamdance's film slate this year features 93 selections from emerging independent talent all over the world.
In honor of its anniversary, Slamdance will host a special premiere of Diy, a short documentary directed and produced by Slamdance president and co-founder Peter Baxter...

The awards have been given, the screening rooms and offices are being disassembled as we speak, but Slamdance 2013 lives on and today we have a little video treat from the Slamdance TV gang of Ben Hethcoat and Michal Felker. Ben and Mike (along with Eric Ekman) do interviews with the fest's filmmakers and do cool little shorts like the one you can watch below. So what is it? It's a trailer for their Anarchy shorts program which is now available for anyone to watch on the VOD service Cineqliq. The Diy zaniness of such a video will give you a hint of just how fun it is to be here in Park City. ...

One cool aspect of Slamdace that I have yet to talk about is Slamdance TV, which is a very cool gang of folks -- including Ben Hethcoat, Michael Felker and Eric Ekman -- who run around Park City making videos for the festival. Filmmaker interviews, wacky skits, sledding... you name it, they've probably done their own spin on it. As it so happens one Mr. Forest Whitaker is in town in support of the Slamdance title Vipaka, which he produced. So the lads at "Sdtv" got the rare chance to sit down with Whitaker and chat about his producing career. We've got the exclusive video.Here's a bit more on Vipaka. Below is the link to where can watch the video courtesy of Slamdance TV.An earnest...
