I'm finding it difficult to summarize a newspaper article on the Sundance Film Festival. Would you please help me with synonyms?

1) The festival is held in Park City, Utah and represents one of the world’s premier showcases (synonym: main settings?) for new, independently produced films.
2) It was launched by actor Robert Redford to promote new film-makers and low-budget films and to help keep independent cinema alive.
3) edford says that the festival has benefited Hollywood, since some low-budget (small-budget?) independent films coming out of the festival have earned well at the box office.
4) it movies such as the documentary March with the Penguins are “indie” projects (synonym) that premiered at Sundance and hit the jackpot (synonym) commercially.
5) One of many notable movies to premier (I can’t understand “premier”) – nearly half of which are the work of first-time film makers – is Afghan Star.

Have you even tried the Synonym Link I have sent you? Learn to use it.
