Festival Screenings


Competition Documentaries

This year, for the first in Slamdance history, we will screen an equal number of competition documentaries and narrative features. Check out the 2007 Slamdance Documentary Competition, featuring ten amazing documentaries!


Competition Screenings

Slamdance audiences will get the chance to vote for the Audience Award for best narrative and documentary feature. Keep in mind, that to be eligible for the competition, this has to be the director's first feature, the film can't have domestic distribution in place, and the budgets must be under one million dollars. Every Screening will have a short film with the feature, and each will be bookend by filmmaker intros and Q&A's. All of these screenings will show twice during the week. All ticket sales are through the Slamdance Box Office. And remember, anything can happen at a Competition Screening: Keep your eye out for Olympic-gold medalist guest celebrity introductions, teen country superstar acappella performances or spontaneous traditional Japanese dancing!


Gallery Shorts

Gallery Shorts are Slamdance Shorts Blocks. Come check out our 6 amazing shorts blocks. Only $6!


SLC Screenings

If you're not in Park City to see the festival award winners, we also do showings at in Salt Lake City.


Special Screenings

Special Screenings are Slamdance films that fall outside of the category of Competition Films. But these 6 Special Screenings are all one-of-kind and each represent the Slamdance spirit.
