Cannibal: The Musical - Trey Parker 86 minutes, shown on video

Before SOUTH PARK, before BASEKETBALL, before ORGAZMO, before TIME WARPED... the Trey Parker / Matt Stone team made a low budget feature film called CANNIBAL: THE MUSICAL. Expect something like OKLAHOMA meets FRIDAY THE 13TH in this musical about the true life story of Alfred Packer, the only person convicted of cannibalism in America. Searching for gold and love in the Colorado Territory, he and his companions lost their way and resorted to unthinkable horrors and toe-tapping songs. The tunes are catchy... the humor is corny... the gore is, uh, gorey. There's action, adventure, romance, horror... what more do you need?

Dog Years - Robert Loomis 75 minutes, 16mm

DOG YEARS is the tale of a nice, young, working-class kind of guy named Wally and the extremes he is forced to go to in order to safely recover his best friend; a dog named Neechee. When gangsters mistakenly believe Wally has stolen from them, they kidnap Neechee. Wally is eventually compelled to use excessive force in order to convince them of his and his dog's innocence. Here's what Variety said about it: "Call it a postmodernist punk farce and you won't be far off the mark. 'Dog Years' is a fitfully amusing micro-budget indie about a boy and his dog - or, to be more specific, a skinhead and his Dalmatian - that vaguely recalls the early efforts of Jim Jarmusch and Hal Hartley. Despite flashes of comically overstated violence during shootouts, pic maintains a genially loopy tone, and could find a receptive audience in urban markets and college towns".

Green (aka Whatever) - Karl T. Hirsch 88 minutes, 16mm

Does Eric have the ways of the world figured out? Has Joanna just had bad luck with men? Did Ralph act honestly in the romance he left behind? Does Dave suck? And, more importantly, is it possible to find the answers to such questions while aimlessly driving around the endless suburban streets of Phoenix, high on homemade hallucinogens? A chronicle of one seemingly uneventful night, GREEN (aka WHATEVER) travels into the minds of these unexpectedly diverse young adults, each character (after popping a pill) "coming to terms" with aspects of their personalities and shortcomings they would otherwise be unwilling to explore openly. Ultimately, they learn how ridiculous and shallow they are, absorbed in each of their individual situations while failing to see the larger world in which they live. Adding to this film's appeal is its combined use of black and white film, color, live action and animation. One of the most realistic films made so far in the generation-X slacker-angst film genre. If it's your generation, you're bound to find something familiar in this film.

Sensing the potential in this process, Bernie enlists Frankie to rejuvenate body parts of famous dead rockers such as Jimi Hendrix and Elvis - thereby creating the ultimate superstar. The plan proceeds smoothly until a mix-up leaves the ultimate rocker with the head of Elvis but the love organ of Liberace, developing a dualistic relationship between the monster and his penis!

That's Offensive! Uncensored Scenes From The Bad Old Days - Godfrey Daniels 27 minutes, video

Don't ignore the warning at the beginning of this tape; those who consider themselves cultured should turn back now. "Banned by Blockbuster, THAT'S OFFENSIVE! aims to be America's most politically incorrect shock video. The tape features over 50 actual newsreel clips guaranteed to offend the gravitationally challenged, the vertically challenged, the mentally challenged, senior citizens, babes, babies, animal lovers, music lovers, straight Nazi's, gay Nazi's, and certain other minorities that shall remain nameless. This fast paced, chaotic program contains hilarious and sophomoric sound effects, a completely tasteless and moronic script, combined with outrageously offensive visuals".

Enter Trevor's friend, Lanh, a heroin addict seeking refuge in Trevor's loft.

Ted - Gary Ellenberg 85 minutes, 16mm

TED is an outrageous comedy "mockumentary" about the Unabomber and his friends. How and why a genius with no social skills can seek revenge on society by sending mail bombs is probed as the film spans four decades and numerous changes in America's social landscape. Ted is a black comedy about a human being that failed as a son, a brother, a lover and a teacher, who throughout, struggles to complete a manifesto replete with diatribes about how the modern world dilutes human experience and interaction through the automation and mechanization of technology. TED won an Excellence In Filmmaking award at the American Independent Film Festival in San Antonio, Texas, and the Chicago Alternative Film Festival gave a Best Actress Award to Edie McClurg (Natural Born Killers, Ferris Bueller's Day Off) for her portrayal of Ted's mother. The film also features Richard Fancy (Nixon, Seinfeld), Megan Cavanaugh (That Darn Cat, A League Of Their Own, Robin Hood: Men In Tights), Paul Provenza (Strictly Business, Northern Exposure), Jeff Corey (Cincinnati Kid, Little Big Man, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid), and Andy Dick (News Radio, Ben Stiller Show).

The Apartment War - David Monty Kurman & Ben Jurin, 27 minutes, 16mm

When Jerry runs up an enormous phone bill calling his phone sex sweetheart, his roommate Charlie's first reaction is violence. And, well, his second reaction, is also violence. When the haze clears, dangerously armed with only small snippets of liberal arts education, Charlie and Jerry decide, in order to never pay another Capitalistic bill, to secede from the United States and declare their apartment a new country. It isn't long, however, before their dreams, hopes, and ambitions are squashed like a big bug. When disputes over key conceptual representational philosophies divide the country - and the apartment - in half, their intensive, well-rounded, liberal arts education leads them to... well... more violence.

Lily And Jim - Don Hertzfeldt 13 minutes, 16mm

An achingly pathetic blind date between two hopelessly naive, neurotic romantics goes from very bad to much worse. LILY AND JIM is an extremely quirky, yet oddly charming short animated film that plays with the overly melodramatic struggles of dating and heartbreak. This film has played at dozens of festivals (including last Fall's Hopkins Film Festival), winning handfuls of awards along the way.

Don't Run Johnny - Tom E. Brown 7 minutes, 16mm

If legendary, B-movie filmmaker, Ed Wood, were alive today and decided to tackle the sensitive topic of AIDS, would it be a factual, gripping, intimate account of the day-to-day struggles of a person living with AIDS? Probably not. Chances are, it would look something like this film, a festival favorite everywhere - including Sundance. This is the story of an "average gay male's" panic-stricken run through back alleys and abandoned city streets after learning he is HIV-positive. In his travels, he encounters the anxiety, confusion, loneliness, and denial associated with AIDS. It's a comedy. Hailed as "the Jerry Lewis of AIDS movies," director-writer-leading man, Tom E. Brown has been HIV positive for more than 13 years - over 40% of his life. Brown considers himself an expert on "anxiety, confusion, loneliness, and denial." See another of his films, RUBBER GLOVES, as part of the Independent Exposure program.

The Light - Philip Scarborough 7 minutes, 16mm (shown on video)

We all have dragons we run from or run after. We all have a divine light we chase. You can't run from yourself. And the light we all chase we possess already. Philip Scarborough tells us, "I originally came up with the concept of THE LIGHT when a friend of mine was having problems conquering his drug and alcohol abuse. He ran from it and disguised it, but he could never make himself realize he had a problem, until he almost ended his life and he was forced to deal with it. He then had to begin the long climb to recovery - which is never easy. That, more than anything, is what THE LIGHT is about, though it can be applied to anything".

A young man diagnosed with a fatal disease leaves the city to visit his cousin in rural upstate New York. Once there they waste away his remaining days in a series of mundane activities - sitting on the porch, drinking beer, cooking eggs.

Call Me Fishmael - Steven Dovas 3 minutes, 35mm (shown on video)

"Call Me Fishmael" is a cartoon about incompetence and its desperate need to be expressed. It's about delusion. It's about Giant Monster Fish. A hyped-up stick figure huckster pitches his idea for a Big Hollywood Feature film and grows more frantic with every word, blissfully unaware of how ludicrous his idea is. It is a safe bet that this character will no doubt end up an executive at an entertainment conglomerate.
