It�s that time of year, film buffs! The 2013 Sundance Film Festival kicks off this weekend, celebrating innovation in independent cinema and introducing creative talent to the world.
Can�t make it to the festival? In The Screening Room, a YouTube channel curated by Sundance Institute and dedicated to showcasing ambitious and entertaining short films, you can watch 12 short films debuting at Sundance right now. These films were selected from the 64 shorts showing at the festival, out of more than 8,100 submissions this year.
Sundance is known for its diverse range of films, and with everything from trippy cats and zombies to a rooster king and an ambitious rodeo cowboy, The Screening Room shorts are no exception. When the festival ends, Sundance Institute will continue to curate The Screening Room, highlighting cutting edge short films from past Sundance filmmakers and the film festival circuit each week.
Lucky enough to be in Park City? We�re here too, presenting the 2013 Sundance Film Festival Shorts Program, where we�ll introduce original content from select YouTube channels to the audience at each screening.
At YouTube, we're proud to show our support and admiration for independent creators through our partnership with Sundance, and we hope you enjoy all the exciting new short form content that is uploaded to our platform every day.
Happy viewing!

Plan your Big Game party on YouTube
You don�t have to be an American football fan to know that the Big Game is almost here. It�s one of the biggest sports moments of the year, and we�re doing our bit to share the authentic Big Game experience, with the Ad Blitz Pre-Game program.
All those recipes for hot wings, multi-layer dips and things-wrapped-in-bacon that you�ve been searching for? The Ad Blitz Pre-Game channel has them all in one place with videos on party recipes and ideas. We�ve also curated playoff coverage and predictions for the Big Game, so you can sound like an expert. There�s even a video on how to freeze a six-pack in under three minutes, in case you�re stuck with warm drinks at kick-off time.
Ad Blitz Pre-Game is presented by Tide, and features sports content from channels like FOX Sports and Bleacher Report, plus great food suggestions from party-planning experts like Howcast and FoodWishes. The Pre-Game runs through February 2, after that you�ll be able to watch and vote on your favorite game commercials on the same Ad Blitz channel.
Whether you�re really invested in the outcome of the game, or even more excited about all the snacks, we hope you�ll have something to cheer about.
