X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival in Salt Lake
X-Dance 2010
Forget about the Sundance Film Festival. Ditch the latte, grab an energy drink, and check out the X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival instead. For one week, there will be screenings of ski movies, surf movies, skateboard movies, mountain bike movies, snowboard movies, climbing movies, an avalanche education movie, and even a film about motocross. In essence, X-Dance is a celebration of what we all love to do; have fun outdoors.
Movies screened will be of the typical variety from well known filmmakers like Teton Gravity Research, and Level 1. But the festival is also an opportunity to experience smaller, unknown films that don’t tour the country during the annual pre-ski season frenzy. Often times, discovering films from new talent is the number-one reason to attend a film fest, and X-Dance is no exception.
This year is the 10th anniversary of X-Dance, and to mark the occasion, ski movie legend Warren Miller will make a special appearance to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award.
For 2010, X-Dance will take place on January 21-26 in the Off Broadway Theater, located at 272 South Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City. Tickets cost $8 per film, $5 for students. Special X-Dance Institute screenings are $12. A five-day pass can be purchased for $40.
