Conceived in 1995 by a small group of filmmakers, the Slamdance Film Festival is hosted at the top of Main Street in the Treasure Mountain Inn each January concurrently with the internationally renowned Sundance Festival. Often cast as a more accessible alternative to Sundance, Slamdance boasts that its “sole mission is to nurture, support and showcase truly independent works. Their motto is “by Filmmakers for Filmmakers,” and they accept only low-budget, amateur filmmaker productions—full of grit and promise.
