About SLAMDANCE
As a year-round organization, Slamdance serves as a showcase for the discovery of
new and emerging talent and is dedicated to the nurturing and development of new
independent artists and their cinematic vision. The Slamdance 2013 Film Festival will
run concurrently with the Sundance Film Festival, January 18-24, in Park City, Utah.
Slamdance continues to live by its mantra: "By Filmmakers, For Filmmakers." No
other festival is fully programmed by filmmakers. Slamdance is proud to count among
its alumni many notable writers and directors who first gained notice at the festival,
including such cinematic luminaries as Christopher Nolan, Oren Peli, Marc Forster,
Jared Hess, Lena Dunham, Behn Zeitlin, Anthony and Joe Russo, Seth Gordon and Lynn
Shelton. New filmmakers and writers today realize that Slamdance is a place to launch
their careers.
Supporting the filmmakers beyond the festival and improving distribution opportunities
for its films has become increasingly important for Slamdance. After beginning an
exclusive video on demand partnership with Microsoft in 2010, Slamdance has continued
to expand its year-round platform and exhibition efforts on platforms like Xbox 360, as
well as its theatrical On the Road programs in the US. On The Road programs also took
place abroad in 2012 in places like Moscow and Krakow. New distribution partners will
be announced at the beginning of 2013.
The 2013 Slamdance Film Festival Major Sponsors include Kodak, Carhartt and The
Directors Guild of America. Official Sponsors include Blackmagic Design, Different By
Design, JuntoBox Films, Royal Purple and InkHead Promotional Products. Variety is
the Official Media Partner. Slamdance is once again proud to partner with sponsors who
share our unique vision and support emerging artists who are pushing the boundaries of
independent filmmaking. Additional information about the Slamdance Film Festival is
