Sundance Institute to Present New Sundance Kids Section in Collaboration with Utah Film Center at 2014 Sundance Film Festival New Youth-Oriented Category Will Feature One World Premiere and One U.S. Premiere
Posted Dec 5, 2013
PARK CITY, UT Sundance Institute announced today a new section for younger audiences called Sundance Kids for the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Programmed in partnership with the Utah Film Center's Tumbleweeds program, the inaugural Sundance Kids section features the World Premiere of the English-language version of the acclaimed Ernest and Celestine (Directors: Benjamin Renner, St phane Aubier, Vincent Patar) and the U.S. Premiere of Zip & Zap and the Marble Gang (Director: Oskar Santos), and will be part of the 2014 Festival, running from January 16-26 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah.
Sundance Kids is programmed with the Utah Film Center's year-round Tumbleweeds program for children and youth, which includes an annual Film Festival and monthly screenings in Salt Lake City, Orem, Moab, Price, Park City and Kamas, UT. The annual Tumbleweeds Film Festival is the only film festival in the Intermountain West that presents films specifically for children and youth.
The addition of Sundance Kids allows us to engage younger audiences around the power of independent film, said Trevor Groth, Director of Programming. We are excited to collaborate with Tumbleweeds and The Utah Film Center in presenting Sundance Kids.
This unique collaboration between the Utah Film Center and Sundance Institute is a great opportunity to elevate the profile of international and independent films for kids, said Patrick Hubley, Artistic Director of the Utah Film Center and Founder of Tumbleweeds. We launched our Tumbleweeds programming four years ago with the goal of fostering the next generation of filmmakers and film fans, and we hope this programming will inspire the creativity and imaginations of young film-goers not only in Utah but across the country.
