6 PM - Night Of The Day Of The Dawn Of The Son Of The Bride Of The Return Of The Revenge Of The Terror Of The Attack Of The Evil Mutant Hellbound Flesh Eating Subhumanoid Living Dead, Part II





Night Of The Day Of The Dawn Of The Son Of The Bride Of The Return Of The Revenge Of The Terror Of The Attack Of The Evil Mutant Hellbound Flesh Eating Subhumanoid Living Dead, Part II -Lowell Mason 95:00

Widely dubbed and circulated among cult film fanatics, most fans of Lowell Mason's controversial film have only seen low-quality multi-generational VHS-dubs these past 13 years. We're proud to present this authorized public screening of a film that holds the distinction of having one of the longest movie titles in American film history, as well as one of the greatest profit-to-budget ratios, too. The official background story on this film: "In 1967, George Romero, using non-professional actors and actresses and a crew made up of friends and relatives made what has become the most famous horror film of all time, "Night Of The Living Dead." [In 1992], filmmaker Lowell Mason, while reviewing "Night Of The Living Dead" noticed some severe flaws in the structure of the script. He obtained a copy of the film, wiped out the entire soundtrack, and replaced it with his own dialogue and music." What Mason ended up making is a silly comedy about the class division among America's working forces - a war between the white collars (the norms) and the blue collars (the zombies). Mason populates Romero's stark world with an invisible duck, Tommy The Talking Shotgun, inappropriate background music & sound effects, and a cast that can't decide what to order for dinner. Leave your political correctness at the door. This film is chock full of lowbrow humor that we ought to be embarrassed for laughing at, but at the same time there are too many brilliant and clever moments to ignore.

Archive: The Changing World Of Film - Charlie Cline 6:00

Deliverance: The Musical - David Fickas 8:00

The title of this short is self-explanatory: it's a scene from John Boorman's classic 1972 film, DELIVERANCE, had it been made as a musical.

High & Gruesome - Vince DiMeglio 2:30

From Vince DiMeglio and Tim Rasmussen, the team who brought us FITS & STARTS (MCF 2002 Audience Choice Best Short) and EL ELEGANTE (MCF 2003), comes this faux trailer for an upcoming movie. Verlin and Iris return to the screen to tell us all about a movie that has something for everyone, including action, adventure, romance, science fiction, non-fiction, special effects, girls in bathing suits spraying pesticide, and a whole lot more.

Oedipus - Jason Wishnow 8:00

Told in a grand epic Hollywood manner reminiscent of BEN HUR, the tale of Oedipus, a man who killed his father and bedded his mother, is acted out in this short by common variety garden vegetables. From the same filmmaker who gave us TATOOINE OR BUST (MCF 98).
