TromaDance, the first and only film festival of the people, for the people, and by the people will begin accepting submissions as of December 22, 2015 through April 30, 2016, it was announced today by Lloyd Kaufman, prexy of Troma Entertainment and creator of “The Toxic Avenger.”
This year marks the 17th anniversary of TromaDance and the festival maintains its longstanding reputation as an exhibition for innovative, idealistic and independent artists and filmmakers. Submission does not require entry fees and screenings are free and open to the public. TromaDance accepts films both long and short in all genres, including experimental and documentary. TromaDance also cheerfully premieres controversial movies other festivals are afraid to show, like, “Banana Motherfucker” and, “The Human Centipede”.
Last year’s TromaDance was held at The Paper Box Theatre in Brooklyn, NY and was hailed by,
“Brooklyn Vegan” as, “The best underground party of Williamsburg.” The festival featured films from around the world, shorts, feature length presentations, an educational panel with “
Fangoria”, former N.Y.S. Film Comissioner Patricia Kaufman and other panelists including
Vice Senior Creative Evan Husney, Veral Salm of
Frightpix and DJ Sam Roberts of Sirius XM’s
The Sam Roberts Show. Additionally there was an exclusive educational focus group screening of Troma Films most recent work-in-progress, “
Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 2″ along with a Q+A with the cast. Highlights from
The 16th Annual TromaDance selections can be viewed on

Students and independent filmmakers internationally are encouraged to submit and participate in the unique and progressive
17th Annual TromaDance Film Festival now and give art back to the people.
