High School Rock Show?
Sundance's hot ticket on Saturday night were two sold-out showings of the "U2 3D" concert movie at the Eccles Center, with fans lining up hours in advance just to get their names on the wait list. But 80 Park City High School students got the jump on film fest theatergoers on Wednesday, when they were summoned to the Eccles' lobby, which adjoins their school. "The kids came totally thinking they were going to watch a documentary on boiled spinach," said Teri Orr, executive director of the Park City Performing Arts Foundation.
Inviting students to the world premiere screening, which also served as a pre-Sundance tech rehearsal, was a top-secret event that took months of planning. The screening was part of the educational outreach partnership that brings filmmakers into Park City classrooms. "There is no other school district in the world that has the Sundance Film Festival in it," Orr says.
