Show 8 Sig 70Sf--Thursday, January 14, 1988 1T4.V-? i Film Festival opens at Park City Artists are often best able to interpret our history, culture, and identity when accepting the challenge to work and struggle outside mainstream tastes and institutions. Since its founding in 1980, the Sundance Institute has sought to be an alternative forum for the exploration of new ideas in American film, theater, dance, and music. In film, the year-round work of the institute focuses primarily on development of the screenplay and the skills of the film maker. Sundance has been involved from the early stages in such films as "The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez," "El Norte," "The Trip to Bountiful," "Desert Bloom," "Smooth Talk," "Belizaire The Cajun," "Waiting for The Moon," and "Rachel River." As presenter of the United States Film Festival, Sundance continues its commitment to exhibit the best American independent films of each year. The festival has attracted to Park City many individuals within the orbit of independent production. The event has become a critical barometer of today's independent film making, a place to judge its health and vitality, celebrate its accomplishments and set its future agenda. As the primary national showcase for new American films, the festival offers a full 10-day program of premieres, seminars, special events and tributes, and dynamic international programming. In addition, the festival hosts the prestigious Independent Film Competition, featuring the year's best new American independent feature and documentary films. Many competition finalists will be premiering their films in Park City; all will vie for high national recognition and cash awards as judged by leading members of the national film community. Films will be represented by their creators for post-screening discussions throughout the festival. The 1988 festival will also present a comprehensive appreciation of the work of legendary American maverick director Samuel Fuller. An "independent" throughout his career, Mr. Fuller is director of such off-beat American films as "Pick up on South Street," "Run of the Arrow," "Forty Guns," "Shock Corridor," "The Naked Kiss," "White Dog," and "The Big Red One." Mr. Fuller will attend a special evening of discussion and film clips, organized and prepared by Tim Hunter, director of "River's Edge" and "Tex." A full program of Mr. Fuller's films, selected and annotated by Mr. Hunter, will be included in the festival's , tribute to him. Additional film programs at the 1988 . festival will be a premiere presentation of the "Discovery Program," a collection of short films by first-time directors, produced by Jonathan Sanger and Jana Sue Memel, and "The Best of North American Animation," assembled and annotated by Charles Solomon, animation scholar and critic for The Los Angeles Times. There will also be a program in recognition of the 100th anniversary of The National Geographic Society as part of the festival's documentary section, and a major silent film accompanied by live orchestra.

Soaps (cont'd from page 7) i for a week and not miss a significant event, but missing a day of class could mean failure when test day rolls around. So another question is asked. What are our priorities? They are sometimes hard to distinguish when addiction sets in. Soap operas can be viewed as a sort of fantasy you watch to forget your troubles. Dramas can help us see real people with real problems. There are characters in the shows that we love to hate. There are those we can identify with, and by watching them perhaps we will realize that our situations aren't so bad. We can possibly learn to laugh at ourselves or our circumstances. Soap operas can't be all bad. But it is frightening to find people who are truly addicted. The television industry is now catering to the soap opera addicts by publishing a weekly magazine entitled Soap Opera Digest. It contains specific sections to update the viewers on the plot of the show. Another section explores the personal lives of the actors and actresses. What can soap opera addicts do if they are unable to stay at home to watch their show one day, and they cannot wait until tomorrow to find out what they missed? There is now a phone number that viewers can call to get an update of the day's events. It only costs 98 cents per minute.
