Slamdance Film Festival has 20 films in competition, and is bringing back its 'Breakout' program for its second year

The Slamdance Film Festival is like Sundance’s scrappy kid brother, not as big but still tough, and determined to do more with less.

That’s one of the criteria for its movies: Nothing with a budget over $1 million. So its films may not draw the stars, but they have the same fiery indie spirit.

Here is the list of the 20 films in competition at Slamdance, Jan. 24-30 at Park City’s Treasure Mountain Inn. Read it at sltrib.com.
