In addition to the competition films, Slamdance has also announced the selections for its 4th annual Breakouts section, featuring films by seasoned directors – nearly 50% of whom are alumni of the festival – who demonstrate a determined vision of filmmaking that is distinctly their own. The 2021 fellowship was awarded to Agnieszka Polska for her debut feature Hurrah, We Are Still Alive! Founded by Slamdance alumni Anthony and Joe Russo ( Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War), the AGBO Fellowship provides a $25,000 cash prize, mentorship from the Russos and their team, and office space, enabling a filmmaker to continue honing their skills and pursuing their craft. The prestigious AGBO Fellowship will continue in 2022. The Slamdance team is honored to introduce everyone of these storytellers, who are changing the media narrative and elevating the art form of independent film.” This year our programmers gravitated towards films that embody the true DIY spirit of guerrilla filmmaking and push the boundaries of what’s possible in storytelling. “That’s always been true, but it’s more urgent than ever as we continue to celebrate truly unique voices that defy simple classification and transcend analytics. “We are anti-algorithm,” said Slamdance President and co-founder Peter Baxter in a press release. All competition films are feature-length with budgets under $1 million and without U.S. The selection contains 13 world premieres, six North American and four U.S. The festival will run live in Park City Utah, January 20 -23 and virtually January 20 – 30. The Slamdance Film Festival - this year a hybrid festival - announced today its full lineup of features and shorts that will comprise its 2022 edition.
