TromaDance Film Festival Returns To Cannes

International Film Festival Celebrates Independent Art Around The World today at 4:00pm in the Tro-Media Office

Monday, May 20th- Today in Cannes, the TromaDance Film Festival returns to the French Riveria with a special “Best Of TromaDance” screening series in the Tro-media Office at 4:00pm (Le Palais Rouaze- 16 Rue Rouaze- # 4007).  What started as an annual event founded by Lloyd Kaufman in Park City, Utah in January of 2000 has since gone international, with screening series taking place at film festivals, screening venues and clubs across the globe.  Due to this TromaDance has received many thousands of fine selections from around the world, including the UK, Canada, France, Switzerland, Japan, Sweden, Spain and Germany to name a few.

Some of today’s Best Of TromaDance selections include Crayfish, More Like Gay Fish (The Passera Bros.), The Psychotic Odyssey Of Richard Chase (Carey Burtt), Zitlover (Cyrus Helf), H.R. Pukenshette (Steve Herold), Capt Bill and The Rockin Buccaneers (Zafer Ulkucu), The Tunnel (Ramzi Abed), along with a special preview trailer of the new Thriller Carmilla from Dark Star Productions.

Unlike every other film festival, TromaDance does not charge filmmakers to submit their films.  Entrance to all screenings is free and open to the public. Besides screenings of independent film selections of all genres and formats,  TromaDance also showcases live music, performance art and other mediums of artistic expression.  Hailed as one of the most truly independent film festivals, TromaDance features a range of official selections made independently, usually without big stars or big money and far removed from the Hollywood studio system.

TromaDance is always looking for official selections, which truly exemplify independence. You can submit your independent art for consideration by filling out the entry blank (Found on www.tromadance.com and in The Best Of TromaDance DVD Vol. 1) and submitting it to:
