    Bearslam: Slamdance 2019 Preview

    By amfmstudios on January 25, 2019 Movie Reviews, Movies, Movies - Indies, Movies - Reviews

    Of course, Sundance isn’t the only game in town here in Park City. Renegade festival Slamdance is always good for a couple of gems and is where a few high profile filmmakers (Matthew Johnson of The Dirties and Operation Avalanche, and of course Christopher Nolan) were discovered. The chairs are awful, the screening room is hardly a proper venue for a festival this important, but here are 5 features worth the trip up main street.

    Film: High Flying Bird
    Director: Steven Soderbergh
    Section: Special Screening
    Synopsis: During a lockout, a sports agent makes a questionable proposal to a client.
    What Excites Me: I mean, its Soderbergh! And he is world premiering a film at Slamdance. Not everything he touches is gold, but its always worth watching.

    Film: Crystal Swan
    Director: Darya Zhuk
    Section: Narrative Features
    Synopsis: In post-Soviet Minsk, young Evalina want to follow her dream of being a DJ in the US and her need for a visa leads her into difficult decisions.
    What Excites Me: Zhuk has been making excellent shorts for years and this story, set in in home of Belarus, seems ripe for her skills.

    Film: The Vast of Night
    Director: Andrew Patterson
    Section: Narrative Features
    Synopsis: in the midst of the space race, two teens discover a strange frequency on the airwaves.
    What Excites Me: This is a period in American history where everything seemed possible, and the world was full of mystery. I love small stories, especially ones tangentially related to SciFi.

    Film: Dons of Disco
    Director: Jonathan Sutak
    Section: Doc Features
    Synopsis: Thirty years after European stardom for Den Harrow, an American Photographer reveals he was actually the voice.
    What Excites Me: We all know the Milli Vanilli story, but that came out pretty quickly. This is a conspiracy that stretched decades.

    Film: Seadrift
    Director: Tim Tsai
    Section: Doc Features
    Synopsis: In 1979, a fishing dispute becomes a race argument when a Vietnamese refuge shoots a Caucasian crab fisherman in Seadrift, TX.
    What Excites Me: In addition to the fascinating piece of Texas history that I didn’t know about, director Tim Tsai is also the Executive Director of the Austin Asian American Film Festival.
