Slamdance Film Festival Reveals 2007 Slate

The Slamdance Film Festival released titles of the 2007 competition categories today, leading off on opening night with the screwball comedy "Weirdsville," directed by Allan Moyle and starring Scott Speedman, Wes Bentley and Taryn Manning -- "the story of two junkies on the run from a satanic cult, a cabal of midget knights, a vengeful drug dealer, and a mouse, in a little town called Weirdsville."

Ten films will compete in the narrative and documentary categories, including
Grace Lee's debut feature, the zom-com "American Zombie" and Halloween frightster "Murder Party," written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier.

For the first year, the fest's Documentary Feature Competition is being sponsored by reality TV company Langley Productions. Competitors include arcade-gamers profile "King of Kong" and Wu-Tang Clan doc "Rock the Bells."

Narrative and documentary special screenings round out the festival, along with a selection of films for mature audiences, titled "21+."

The event runs concurrently with the Sundance Film Festival, January 18 - 27, 2007 in Park City. The full press release is on the Slamdance Film Festival website.
