THE DIRTY DOZEN V: Tales of Eccentricity

Slamdance knows good short films. Trust us, we’ve been doing this for a decade now. This DVD marks the fifth installment in our Dirty Dozen series, and to celebrate our 10th Anniversary we’ve selected a theme especially close to our own hearts. As a festival which has grown in reputation, yet remains true to a genuine indie vision, Slamdance invites you to experience a dozen of the most amazing off-the-wall shorts from the last few years. We hope you’ll enjoy these ‘Tales of Eccentricity.’
