Screw summer blockbusters, I’m going to the film festival
I love a good, mindless summer blockbuster as much as the next girl. Every so often it’s nice to go to the theater and see all the stars we love to hate running around onscreen. But what I’d really rather see are small, independent films. And what better place to see them than at a film festival? And you know NYC has tons of them. And one is happening right now!
The NY Film and Video Festival is going on now. It started at the end of last week (whoops! I’m a little late) and continues through the 26th. There are TONS of films to see, as you can see by looking at the schedule. One in particular that I’m really interested in seeing is Bedford-Stuyvesant. You’d think from the title that it might be a hard-hitting documentary about life in a tough Brooklyn neighborhood, but no… it’s a horror film. There are girls in towels, evil, and a curse! What more could you ask for? AND it takes place in our fair city.
There are, of course, many other films to be seen, but I’m going straight for the horror flicks. And then when the directors get to be world famous, I can say I saw their film debut at the NY Film and Video Festival. Can you?

The NY Film & Video festival is, was, and always will be a scam.
Please elaborate. How is it a scam? Is it a scam for the filmmakers or the theatergoers? Do tell! I just wanted to see a movie with some screaming chicks in it.
