Sundance Sets Restorations of ‘ SLAM’ and Gregg Araki’ s ‘ Doom Generation’ for 2023 Fest
Sundance s first program announcement for next year includes restored screenings of the cult classics
Wilson Chapman Oct 12, 2022 1:05 pm Share This Article Reddit LinkedIn WhatsApp Email Print Talk “The Doom Generation” Trimark Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection The 2023 Sundance Film Festival will host special screenings of "SLAM" and "The Doom Generation," the Sundance Institute announced Wednesday. The films, which premiered in 1998 and 1995 respectively, are the first titles announced for the upcoming festival. Both received their world premieres at Sundance - "SLAM" premiered in the U.S. Dramatic Competition section and won the Grand Jury Prize, while "The Doom Generation" premiered in the festival's Premieres section. Both screenings will take place as part of the festival's From the Collection section, which is dedicated to rescreening notable titles that previously played at Sundance. Each screening will be followed by a panel and discussions with the filmmakers, the details of which will be announced at a later date. "Before we announce the full slate for the upcoming festival, we are taking a moment to honor our past in anticipation of what is to come," Kim Yutani, Sundance's director of programming, said in a statement. "Sundance has always been a place for discovery, inspired conversations, and critical reflection, all thanks to the independent storytellers we are so fortunate to encounter each year. These screenings are our opportunity to present newly restored films from the collection, reemphasize our commitment to artists throughout their careers, and find new ways to recontextualize the work that has shaped the heritage of Sundance through a modern perspective."Related
