This year, the GoPro X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival, presented by SkullCandy Grete Eliassen-Say My Name , runs January 22-25, 2011 with screenings and panels at The Depot in Salt Lake City, Utah. The closing party and award ceremony will be at Harry O’s in Park City.

Two worlds -- action sports and the mainstream entertainment industry -- merge into one adrenaline-fueled culture that is X-Dance. Launched in 2001, X-Dance has grown to become the premier action sports film festival in the world. The mission of X-Dance is to nurture the growth of action sports filmmaking and to honor achievement on both sides of the camera. X-Dance will always recognize innovative work that pushes the limits of style and narrative.

The festival includes films with “skier Tanner Hall, soul surfer Rob Machado, world record breaking free skier Grete Eliassen, snowboard maverick Jeremy Jones, kayaking superstar Rush Sturges, and MotoX madman Robbie Maddison.” There will be Q&As with filmmakers and featured athletes after each screening.
