UTAH HIGH SCHOOL SCREENING PROGRAM
As part of our commitment to Utah audiences, each year Sundance Institute provides local high schools students with the opportunity to participate in our High School Screening Program at the Sundance Film Festival. We offer a range of documentary and narrative films that have been specially selected for viewing by high school students. Additionally, we arrange for the film's representative, typically the director, to attend each screening to engage students in dialogue about the film. Through the support from the Salt Lake County ZAP program, these screenings are free to the students.
The Sundance Film Festival High School Screening Program is a great way for students to see that a film can be so much more than just entertainment. It can be a dynamic art form, a polemic or a powerful tool to raise awareness of issues that are currently shaping our national political landscape.
Utah students have been among the first to view films such as Napoleon Dynamite and March of the Penguins. In 2006, students and teachers had the tremendous opportunity to see An Inconvenient Truth and participate in a Q&A with former Vice President Al Gore. In 2007, over 3,000 students representing 34 schools participated and experienced films such as LA MISMA LUNA, IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON, EVERYTHINGS COOL and WAR/DANCE. If a local high school is interested in attending a screening email studentprograms@sundance.org by November 30, 2007.
STUDENTS AT THE FESTIVAL PROGRAM
Sundance Institute invites high school and college students to experience the Sundance Film Festival by providing access to screenings, panels, and events. While benefits vary slightly for high school and college groups, participating students see films, attend panels about current issues in independent filmmaking, and experience the energy of the Festival. In 2007, eleven high schools and nine universities were represented from states across the United States.
The Students at the Festival application process for the 2008 Sundance Film Festival is now closed. Please check back in the summer for new deadlines for the 2009 Festival.
