A CHANCE AT SLAMDANCE, ‘09
Launches: September 8th
Ends: November 10th, 11:30PM (PST)
Current TV understands how important it is for filmmakers to be showcased in the best
festivals. So, for the second year in a row we've teamed up with Slamdance Film
Festival to give you a chance to have your short documentary shown at the premiere
North American indie film showcase!
Slamdance Film Festival and Current are presenting a call for short documentary films,
providing filmmakers the opportunity to participate in the Park City experience. Five
selected filmmakers will shine on the big screen in January 2009 as part of a Current
and Slamdance curated shorts program, as well as get a chance to have their uploaded
documentary considered for acquisition for Current TV.
So shred the festival rejection letters and upload that short documentary that you KNOW
the world has got to see to current.com/slamdance
IN MORE DETAIL:
To kick off Slamdance 2009, we want you to submit a short (3-10 minute) documentary
film. Make something fresh, new, authentic and exciting about a topic that is relevant to
you and your community as well as related to current events or new trends. Upload it to
www.current.com/slamdance before November 10th at 11:30PM.
The Slamdance programming committee in conjunction with Current TV creative
executives will select five of the uploaded films for inclusion in a curated shorts program,

receive a festival filmmaker pass, a chance to have their uploaded film considered for
acquisition by Current TV, and a chance to pitch new short documentary ideas to
Current TV creative execs.
