Sundance Adds Clips to YouTube

NEW YORK, January 18:
Sundance Channel will add clips of its content to YouTube this year, kicking
off with programming produced from the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

Throughout the year,
Sundance will add clips from its original series, films and documentaries to
the Google-owned video site. Sundance Channel's coverage of the 2007 Sundance
Film Festival will include a Sundance Channel-branded area on YouTube that will
host a range of video clips including Festival Dailies, a daily wrap-up show from the Festival; profiles
of filmmakers in competition at the Festival; archival video clips from past
Festivals and in-depth coverage of the Festival by YouTube users Arin Crumley
and Susan Buice.

"Sundance Channel's
innovative programming is a welcome addition to YouTube and further proves how
the site offers a rich environment for both quality content and new advertising
models for partners," said Kevin Donahue, the VP of content at YouTube.
"This is one example of how we're enabling the discovery of compelling
content, while embracing the independent film community, our users and
partners."
