| Summary |
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.
