Sundance Hotels: Slamdance at Treasure Mountain

Where: 255 Main St. [map], Park City, UT, United States, 84060

Just because Sundance is the main event out in Park City next week doesn't mean there's nothing else happening. The big alterna-event is Slamdance, which happens at PC's only green hotel, the Treasure Mountain Inn. The event hosts shorts, animations, documentaries and other "truly independent works." Everything's screened at the Mountain Inn, so if you've got a room there, you won't even need to brave the snow to catch a flick.

The 29 films that will be on this year promise to be good ones, as previous years featured work from Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins), Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) and Marilyn Agrelo (Mad Hot Ballroom).

Getting the buzz this year are Sync or Swim, a doc about synchronized swimming, Woman in Burka, a darkly comic short about Middle Eastern actors, and The Project, a documentary from three first-time filmmakers about inner-city Brooklyn.
