The roads to Park City may be too icy or the wallet too light for some Utahns to indulge in one of North America's biggest film festivals.

But don't let that stop you from enjoying the Sundance or Slamdance experience. Thanks to the Internet, iTunes and the Sundance Channel, independent-film aficionados can soak up the atmosphere without leaving their living rooms.

Here's a list of how you can enjoy festival offerings through the Internet and on TV.

On the Web » The site at festival.sundance.org features scores of videos from this year's festival. "Storytime" is a series of videos about what's happening at this year's festival. "Snackbox" is a collection of short videos that capture the independent film spirit with profiles and a grab bag of stories. "Archives" looks back mostly at last year's festival. The site also will include slide shows, filmmaker profiles and interviews, and a daily collection of news from the event.

New this year, Sundance will have a presence on the social networking sites Facebook and Twitter. At www.facebook.com/sundance, there will be videos, trailers, interviews and reviews, and event reminders can be connected to users' own Facebook pages. Guest bloggers, filmmakers and festival staff also will be updating Twitter blogs.

Meanwhile, the Slamdance Film Festival, also held in Park City, has its own site at www.slamdance.com that will feature filmmaker profiles and news.

Slamdance's Anarchy Online, featuring competition short films on the site, also will be in full swing. It's free to view the films, and users can vote for their favorites.

On iTunes » Again, the Sundance Film Festival has partnered with Apple to feature some of its short films online for free.

Each day during the festival, Jan. 15-25, a short will premiere on iTunes. Once users download a film, they have 24 hours to see the movie. The title is then replaced by a new short the next day. In all, 10 will be available for download.

Viewers can watch the shorts on their computer and don't need an iPod to see them. You can download iTunes at www.apple.com.

On television » The Sundance Channel is featuring the "31 Days of Sundance" through Jan. 31.

Each night at 8, a different Sundance feature film and short from a past festival will be shown. Titles also will be available through Comcast's Video on Demand service.

"Festival Updates," brief segments of Sundance news, will be shown throughout each day of the festival. There also will be "Spotlight" segments that highlight the behind-the-scenes work at the festival.

"Festival Updates" segments and blogs from the festival also will be featured at the channel's site at www.sundancechannel.com/festival.
