Since first appearing in 2012, The Department of Anarchy has become the most popular screening series at the Slamdance Film Festival in Utah, USA. Curated by filmmakers Noel Lawrence and Burke Roberts, the show sells out quickly every year and attracts raucous and enthusiastic audiences hungry for films that experiment, challenge, and even enlighten.

As the “lunatic fringe” of Slamdance, The Department of Anarchy acts as the festival’s revolutionary vanguard, continuing its mission of presenting the direct, unfiltered voice of the auteur to the rest of the world.

Slamdance is the little and less conventional sister of the Sundance Festival, Utah, USA.
This program is a sampling of older and recent works that appeared in the program.

„Though we screen many kinds of films, they all share a distinct aesthetic. We are looking for provocative and psychedelic work that usually lacks commercial or institutional support.“

"Selected Works From The Department of Anarchy" is being presented in collaboration with Directors Lounge Berlin
