Two Aussie films have been selected to screen at the Slamdance Film Festival in Utah.
Alvin’s Harmonious World of Opposites by director and screenwriter Platon Theodoris and The Tail Job by directors and screenwriters Bryan Moses, Daniel Millar have been announced in official competition at the festival, which will be held in Park City, Utah, January 22-28 2016.
Alvin's Harmononious World of Opposites follows a Japanese translator who appears normal to friends and colleagues.
But Alvin is anything but. He spies on his attractive neighbour, has a large panda collection and has a strange sludge sleeping from the walls of his apartment.
In The Tail Job, Nicholas Moore hires taxi driver Trevor to help catch his fiance cheating. With misunderstandings, and mistaken identity, these defective detectives find themselves on an adventure more dangerous than they bargained for.
Slamdance Film Festival was launched in 1995 as an alternative to Sundance and is renowned a great platform for DIY films.
The competition is limited to films made with budgets under $1 million, made by first-time directors.
Next year’s festival will include 12 world premieres, two North American premieres and one US premiere. The narrative competition has 12 titles and eight have been selected in the documentary category.
