Sundance Institute Tours Package of Short Films from 2014 Sundance Film Festival to Theaters Across USA Posted Apr 7, 2014
Los Angeles, CA Sundance Institute today announced that it will tour a package of eight short films from the 2014 Sundance Film Festival to a variety of destinations including art house theaters, museums, college theaters and general event spaces, across the country throughout.
Showcasing a wide variety of story and style, the 94-minute Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour features both fiction and documentary short films and includes three films that won awards at the 2014 Festival. Venues that wish to book the short film program and audiences interested in seeing if it will visit a location near them should go to sundance.org/ShortFilmTour.
This will mark the second year of the shorts touring program. The first-year program, featuring short films from the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, screened in 55 venues across 28 states, including an impressive five-week run at the IFC Center in New York. Filmmakers receive a percentage of box office proceeds.
Mike Plante, Shorts Programmer, Sundance Film Festival said Last year our shorts touring program reached more theaters and audiences across the U.S than ever before and we look forward to sharing the 2014 program which is truly diverse in style and substance. Each year at the Festival, we champion young filmmakers trying to make their mark and established filmmakers who take risks in the short film form. We are excited to take a part of the Festival on tour.
