The Slamdance Film Festival returns for its 29th edition in a hybrid format, running in-person in Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah from Jan. 20-26 and virtually from Jan. 23-29 on the Slamdance Channel. As in years past, alums from California Institute of the Arts in Valencia can be spotted across multiple categories, ranging from documentary features to animated shorts.
An international slate of films has won the five Oscar-qualifying awards at Aspen Shortsfest. Aspen Film, which hosts Shortsfest, will screen all of the award-winning films Tuesday night at the Arts Campus at Willits.
