    Media Contacts: For Immediate Release Brooks Addicott, 435.658.3456 December 3, 2008 [email protected] Amy McGee, 310.492.2333 [email protected] 2009 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES FILMS IN COMPETITION Festival Celebrates 25 Years of Independent Filmmaking and Cinematic Storytelling Park City, UT—Sundance Institute announced today the lineup of films selected to screen in the U.S. and World Cinema Dramatic and Documentary Competitions for the 25th Sundance Film Festival.

The 2009 Sundance Film Festival runs January 15-25 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Sundance, Utah. The complete list of films is available at www.sundance.org/festival. "This year's films are not narrowly defined. Instead we have a blurring of genres, a crossing of boundaries: geographic, generational, socio-economic and the like," said Geoffrey Gilmore, Director, Sundance Film Festival. "The result is both an exhilarating and emotive Festival in which traditional mythologies are suspended, discoveries are made, and creative storytelling is embraced." "Audiences may be surprised by how much emotion this year's films evoke," said John Cooper, Director of Programming, Sundance Film Festival. "We are seeing the next evolution of the independent film movement where films focus on storytelling with a sense of connection and purpose." For the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, 118 feature-length films were selected including 88 world premieres, 18 North American premieres, and 4 U.S. premieres representing 21 countries with 42 first-time filmmakers, including 28 in competition.

  • Seattle Jobs Plan Update Is Focused on Supporting Innovation and Building Shared Prosperity
    2013 Economic Indicators: a snapshot of recovery Seattle Jobless Rate Drops Below 5% for the First Time Since 2008 Washington State EmploymentJune 19, 2013 Security Department, Good news about our city’s economy keeps rolling in. Seattle continues to outperform the region, the state, and the country in our rate of job growth and retail sales. Our monthly unemployment rate is down to 4.7 percent in April, well below that of the state and the nation as a whole. We’re training workers through the Seattle Jobs Initiative, investing in schools, and building new infrastructure. This is great news for Seattle. But we can’t coast on our success. We can look across America to see examples of cities that did not continue innovating and fell into decline. Seattle has been there before. And we have more work to do. Some residents still struggle to find work. Others have a job but still don’t make enough money to support their families. Our neighborhood businesses have bounced back from the recession, but still need support to remain strong. This Seattle Jobs Plan update is focused on supporting innovation and building shared prosperity. We are launching Startup Seattle, an initiative to support the growth of the Seattle technology startup community. We will work to streamline regulation and permitting of restaurants and cafés. We will also improve construction permitting across City departments to save time and improve transparency. We’ll support expansion of our manufacturing and PHOTO CREDIT: Mayor’s Office Mayor’s PHOTO CREDIT: maritime industries. And we’re building the next generation infrastructure, from rail to broadband, that can sustain innovation for decades to come.

For the first four weeks following each individual theater’s reopening, they will be able to select from twenty different revival series, encompassing more than 150 films from IFC Films’ twenty-year history, and play any combination of them on screen for their audiences, as many times as they want, and for whatever ticket price they wish. For screenings during this period, no film rental will be due to IFC Films. Twenty Years of IFC Films, Twenty Different Retrospectives 1. Greatest Hits:​ Indie Blockbusters from IFC Films 2.
