It’s that time of year once again with the Sundance Film Festival coming up, beginning January 18th, but how many of you know about TromaDance!?
New York Magazine | Movies | Film Festivals | Sundance | Comments | TromaDance
“TromaDance is the first film festival wholeheartedly devoted to filmmakers and fans. Unlike every other film festival, TromaDance does not charge filmmakers to submit their films. Entrance to all screenings is free and open to the public. Also, there are no VIP reservations or preferential treatment regarding films, panels, or parties of any kind given. The organizers of TromaDance believe films are meant to be seen, especially when it comes to new filmmakers. Art - in all its forms - is for the people!”
“TromaDance is an independent film festival organized by Troma Films and held annually in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah. It was created as an alternative to the Sundance Film Festival, because the organizers felt that Sundance had become too “Hollywood” by charging high entry fees, showing multi-million-dollar “independent” movies, and limiting attendance.
Located in both Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah, it runs concurrently with the Sundance Film Festival in an attempt to lure people away from that well known event. Troma President, Lloyd Kaufman got the idea from South Park co-creator Trey Parker while the two were discussing the elitist structure and selection process of the Sundance Film Festival and its involvement with celebrities such as Robert Redford. Parker encouraged Kaufman to create his own festival and thus resulted TromaDance. TromaDance requires no entry fee for filmmakers and does not charge people to see their films. All money comes from donations.”
TromaDance 2008 is January 22nd - 25th in Salt Lake City, UT.
