Breaking News: Strad Style Added to Lineup

This just in! We’re delighted to announce our latest official selection: the delightful documentary Strad Style, which comes to us fresh from Slamdance, where it took home the Audience Award. This “nerd manifesto with violins” follows an amateur Stradivarius aficionado who gets the opportunity of a lifetime to recreate one of these famous violins and must make his one shot at glory count.
