Press Release:

Troma Entertainment, the longest running truly independent film company, proudly presents the 18th Annual All Free TromaDance Film Festival at the Landmark, award winning training center and comedy theater, The Peoples Improv Theater in New York, NY on August 11th-12th, it was announced today by Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma Entertainment and creator of The Toxic Avenger.

"TromaDance is our humble yet influential film festival that has been a shining beacon of true independent art in the elitist culture of baby food, mainstream film festivals such as Corporate Cannes Film Festival and Smug Sundance. Now that TromaDance is 18 years old, it can go to college, go to war and vote for whatever hack politician it desires! Troma started TromaDance to give true independent artists a platform to display their hard work that they normally would not have. TromaDance has premiered visionary movies that the bland festivals are too timid to show, such as Tom Six's Human Centipede and Anna Biller's Viva. The Peoples Improv Theater is a fantastic venue to host the 18th annual TromaDance as it itself is a hub for independent artistic expression. We thank everyone who submitted their films to the festival and we look forward to meeting all the amazing independent artists and film fans!" stated Lloyd Kaufman

Press Release:

Greetings from Tromaville! TromaDance Selection Committee is delighted to announce that Rodney Ascher's (Room 237) brilliant and terrifying The Nightmare will be screened at 16th Annual Tromadance Film Festival.

The Nightmare (USA) "shows a truth more frightening than fiction," warns The Guardian, and has been hailed by critics since premiering at this year's Sundance and South by Southwest film festivals.


A look at a frightening condition that plagues thousands; sleep paralysis

TromaDance 2015 will also feature two one-of-a-kind tour de force feature films, X Moor (UK) and Clinger(USA).

Written and directed by Luke Hyams, X Moor was described by TromaDance founder, Lloyd Kaufman, as "the most frightening and surprising movie that TromaDance has ever presented. I'm still having nightmares and they ain't the Rodney Asher's kind."

Kaufman, also goes on to say that Clinger directed by Michael Steves, "is a Hitchcockian and Raimi-ish combination of hilarity and horror all rolled up into the most entertaining cinematic enchilada you will seen this year." The film features the queen of independent cinema, Debbie Rochon.


Georgia and Matt ravel to the remote English Exmoor to capture footage of legendary panthers that are said to roam the moor. When the couple is joined by animal tracker Fox, they realize they are not the only people in the wilderness, and that they might be the hunted ones...from the producer of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.


Fern Petersen has her life turned upside down when her overly affectionate boyfriend, Robert Klingher, dies in an embarrassing accident. When Robert returns from the dead as a love-sick ghost, he plots to kill Fern so they can be together forever.

The TromaDance Selection Committee will also be announcing a "Secret Selection" in the coming days. Final arrangements are being made to secure this surprise. Kaufman stated "this year TromaDance is unspooling the very best movies in our 16th year of history. Just the fact that TromaDance can 'unspool' digital films is further proof of how this festival is amazing."

The 2015 edition of TromaDance will be held in The Paper Box Theater on July 24th and 25th. As always Tromadance is completely FREE. Submission fee FREE. Admission FREE. Red carpet FREE. The only film festival from the people, of the people and by the people. Give art back to the people.
