Slamdance President and Cofounder Peter Baxter addresses audiences during last year’s awards ceremony at Treasure Mountain Inn. Baxter and his staff decided to move this year’s film festival to a virtual format, which gave them the option to run 12 days instead of six.

Slamdance 2021 will be the biggest and most accessible film festival of its 27-year history.
The virtual event, which will run 12 days rather than the traditional six, is scheduled to start on Feb. 12, and will offer passholders on-demand access to more than 100 independent films, including 20 feature-film premieres, as well as filmmaker and industry panel discussions and other special events, said Slamdance President and Cofounder Peter Baxter.
