Archives Collection Screenings

Collection Screenings

Each year as part of our "From the Collection" series, Sundance Film Festival screens several films recently added to the archive.

Richard's Linklater's Slacker, which played 20 years ago at the '91 Sundance Film Festival, will get another chance to reach audiences as the 2011 Festival's "From the Collection" selection. Click here to read more about the announcement.

Although the primary focus of the archive is to preserve prints that might otherwise disappear, the Collection also makes them accessible to new audiences, showing them as they were intended to be seen: on the big screen.
