The Slamdance Film Festival has invited films from Slamdance
alumni to both open and close the festival. 1995 Alum Eugene Martin's THE
OTHER AMERICA will open the festival on January 17th as a World Premiere and
1998 Festival Alum Kevin DiNovis's DEATH AND TEXAS will close the festival.
Including opening and closing night films, five feature films (two
documentaries and three narratives) make up the Special Screening section
(films screening out of competition). Bill Plympton's animated HAIR HIGH is
among the feature screening selections. Three short films will also be
presented in the Special Screenings category. A total of 20 short films will
comprise the "Gallery" section of the festival, another out of competition
category. Nine films will compete online during the course of the festival,
in the Anarchy Online Global Competition. Six $99 Specials will also be
shown.
