Sundance Film Festival

With in-person packages and tickets going on sale for the 2023 Sundance Film Festival on Monday, we were too excited to hold our entire lineup back and wanted to give our fellow cinephiles a sneak peak. Today, we’re thrilled to unveil the From the Collection section of the 2023 Fest lineup: the 25th Anniversary and digital restoration screening of SLAM (1998’s Grand Jury Prize winner) and the uncensored director’s cut and restoration of The Doom Generation (1995).

These two films, which will be screened at the Festival in their restored and remastered state, are the full slate of the 2023 From the Collection section. This section is so unique because it allows our festivalgoers to dive into our archives and discover curated films that have changed the course of independent storytelling and the Sundance Institute. “These screenings are our opportunity to present newly restored films From the Collection, reemphasize our commitment to artists throughout their careers,” says Kim Yutani (Sundance Institute’s Director of Programming). “And find new ways to recontextualize the work that has shaped the heritage of Sundance through a modern perspective.”

Following in the footsteps of last year’s FTC screening of Just Another Girl on the I.R.T., both SLAM and The Doom Generation have been restored, the former as part of our longstanding partnership with the UCLA Film & Television Archive to ensure their longevity.
