Dennis Rodman, Pras e Jake "The Snake" Roberts tra i nomi culto di Slamdance 2015

Slamdance Film Festival svela l'intera line-up del suo ricchissimo programma. Contraltare al Sundance Film Festival, la manifestazione si terrà dal 23 al 29 gennaio 2015. Nella bella location di Treasure Mountain Inn si potranno vedere ben 13 anteprime mondiali, 2 nordamericane e 3 statunitensi.

Da notare Ratter di Brander Kramer con Ashley Benson, Matt McGorry, Rebecca Naomi Jones, John Anderson e Kaili Vernoff nella storia di una ragazza tormentata da uno stalker che ha accesso a tutti i suoi supporti tecnologici.

Altra perla è il docufilm Dennis Rodman’s Big Bang in Pyongyang, che racconta l'interlocutoria amicizia tra l'ex stella di Bulls e Pistons e il dittatore nordcoreano Kim Jong-un, con tanto di partita di basket più controversa della storia.

Slamdance accetta in competizione solo lungometraggi con un budget non più alto di 1 milione di dollari.

Ecco la line-up per intero:
