SundanceTV announced today the launch of the 2018 SundanceTV Shorts competition. The Jury Prize winning film will be broadcast on Sundance TV later this year and will premiere at an event during Sundance Film Festival: London, which takes place May 31 to June 3.
MultiChoice, SundanceTV’s exclusive affiliate partner in South Africa, will be supporting the competition with a representative joining the panel of jurors alongside Sundance TV and Sundance Institute.
“The Sundance TV Shorts competition reflects the very essence of the channel,” says Geraud Alazard, Senior Vice President of Marketing at AMC Networks International.
“It encapsulates SundanceTV’s unique energy and passion, shining a spotlight on independent storytelling and emerging talent. We’re incredibly excited to collaborate with Sundance Institute again this year and we’re enormously grateful for the support of our affiliate partner, MultiChoice.”
