Filmformance: The New Cinema Road Show

In a world of shrinking theatrical releases, today’s filmmakers are increasingly hitting the road themselves, presenting their work in myriad venues across the country. What emerges is a more direct connection between filmmaker and audience and a dynamic grassroots interaction among artist, the work, and the public. What are the artistic benefits of these “event” screenings? What are the new revenue and marketing opportunities? Join us for a whirlwind tour of the new “live” cinema. Moderated by Jose Munoz, NYU Tisch School of the Arts.

Panelists: Sam Green (filmmaker, Utopia in Four Movements); Tim Rutili (filmmaker, All My Friends Are Funeral Singers); Kalup Linzy (filmmaker, Sweet, Sampled, and LeftOva); Daniel Karslake (filmmaker, For the Bible Tells Me So); Nao Bustamante (filmmaker, Silver & Gold); and Lisa Smithline (copresident, Cultural Front Productions).

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
