The 16th annual Slamdance Film Festival, which runs Jan. 21-28 in Park City, has added three films to its Special Screening program: Jordan Brady's documentary "I Am Comic," featuring Sarah Silverman and Kathy Griffin, Gerard Johnson's "Tony" and Ben Wheatley's "Down Terrace."
Slamdance also has programmed 36 narrative and experimental shorts, 10 animations, 12 short documentaries and seven horror shorts that will screen as part of its inaugural Twilight Shorts program.
The shorts programs include such titles as "Head in the Sand," a look at a naive soldier's tour of duty in Afghanistan; "Saturday Morning Blues," in which an inner-city teens wrangles doses of knowledge and poison from her best friend; and "Solarium," a sci-fi piece designed entirely with found and recycled materials.
"In spite of the recession, we saw an increase in both quantity and quality of shorts submissions this year," said Paul Sbrizzi, captain of the shorts programming committee.
