Map Of Zunes

Zune and the Slamdance Film Festival are offering users an exclusive chance to rent some of the same films being shown at the festival on the same day they are being screened in Park City. 

The Zune team has always supported up-and-coming artists and we are continuing this tradition by working with Slamdance to make a select number of films from the festival available for rental on your PC, Zune HD or Xbox LIVE.

Learn more about the films on Zune.net:

• American Jihadist

In addition to the Festival films, we'll be bringing more content from Slamdance for rent or download in the coming months.
