LOST FILM FEST!!
8th August
Lower Deck Pub..
with bands and Certain Death Vegan Cafe!
"West Philadelphia's Lost Film Festival touring program features scathing and hilarious social commentary in the form of narrative shorts, documented pranks, and hot Riot Porn (amateur footage from protests around the world.)
"This is about breaking the illusions cast by Hollywood & CNN," says festival director Scott Beibin. "You won't see a lot of these at typical indie festivals." Earlier this year, Lost Film Fest featured Sean Connery Golf Project (dir: Sara Rimensnyder / Rhys Southan), the infamous documentary and controversial subject of a current lawsuit, in which two young down-on-their-luck filmmakers infiltrate Sony Pictures studios, steal a screenplay, rewrite it, and return the altered script.
The program is an action packed three hours long, and never drags. Narrated by Beibin, Lost Film Fest happens typically in Mad Max like environs like clubs, warehouses, rooftops, & squats staying true to its guerrilla aesthetic. Throughout the years it's gained enough popularity to regularly appear at theaters and universities. Many of the iconoclastic filmmakers featured in the program make use of Digital Video and Non-Linear editing, producing low to no-budget masterpieces. Their films intentionally fly under the radar of the mainstream. Beibin runs the punk label Bloodlink Records, and was Co-Producer of underground festival favorite Godass (dir. Esther Bell). "What makes the program unique is that he's stuck like glue to his DIY roots and it shows." Beibin will only play to all ages audiences, and feels very strongly about keeping the prices low (A cheap date for cheapskates.) As a result, the festival constantly experiments with presenting images in fresh new ways that could very well be the future of cinema."
