Slamdance Films for the Musically-Minded In case Sundance season came and went too quickly—or perhaps just passed you right by, by virtue of it being online this year, providing none of its usual clot of tourism to remind Utahns to get tickets—Slamdance is right on its heels, also virtually this year. The oddball answer to Sundances austere take on indie returns for its 26th year as a festival for emerging artists, and with options for movie-lovers of all kinds. If its music-focused stuff y...
