<p>Slamdance is a showcase for raw and innovative filmmaking that lives and bleeds by its mantra: By Filmmakers For Filmmakers.<br />
<br />
No other film festival in the world is entirely run and organized by the creative force that can only be found in filmmakers. Slamdance adamantly supports self-governance amongst independents, and exists to deliver what filmmakers go to festivals for – a chance to show their work and a platform to launch their careers. Slamdance has created a track record for emerging artists that is beyond dispute. Filmmakers who first showed their work at the festival are now amongst the biggest names in the entertainment industry.<br />
<br />
We welcome films on any subject, in any language, from anywhere in the world. We consider works in progress. We program films regardless of their premiere status.</p>
