The Slamdance Film Festival, the scrappy companion to the bigger Sundance Film Festival, has announced a slate of 20 competition features for its 2020 edition — half of them never screened before.
“Slamdance is above all a place of discovery,” said Peter Baxter, Slamdance’s co-founder and president, in a statement.
The festival, marking its 26th year, is continuing two recent additions to its slate. One is the Breakouts section, which launched in 2019 to give a platform to directors who have made a feature before and “continue to push cinema boundaries in both narrative and documentary forms.
