ABOUT X-DANCE

Every January, action sport filmmakers, top athletes, cutting-edge bands, DJs and key figures from the entertainment industry gather in Utah, to celebrate action sports culture at the X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival. This year, the action promises to be better than ever.

Launched in 2001, X-Dance has successfully harnessed the creative energy of adrenaline culture under one roof. X-Dance seeks to nurture the growth of action sports filmmaking, and to celebrate achievement on both sides of the camera – filmmakers and athletes alike. Emphasizing the importance of story, X-Dance recognizes innovative work that pushes the limits of style and narrative. With roots in both the core industry as well as the mainstream, X-Dance is a mecca for the enormous audience that dwells at the intersection of music, film, and action sports.

Running side-by-side with the Sundance Film Festival, the 8th Annual X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival will be held in Salt Lake City on January 19-23, 2008. The festival consists of screenings of top action sports films with filmmaker Q&As, and a closing night awards ceremony featuring a special guest music headliner.  For more information about X-Dance go to www.x-dance.com
