The Exquisite Corpse Project (Ben Popik, 2012)
Using the strategy of the notorious Cadavre Exquis (Exquisite Corpse) Surrealist game, five writers from the Olde English group -a well known internet sketch comedy- developed this first-of-a-kind comedy/drama/documentary/thriller/action movie. The Exquisite Corpse Project was named one of the top films of 2012 by Film Threat editor-in-chief Mark Bell, and won both the Best Documentary and Best Director awards at the LA New Wave film festival. The director, the producer and three of the writers and stars, will be present at this screening to talk about their feat and engage in a Q and A session.

Far from Afghanistan: Bringing a Decade of War into Focus (John Gianvito, Jon Jost, Minda Martin, Travis Wilkerson, Soon-Mi Yoo, 2012)
Inspired by the landmark omnibus film Loin du Viet Nam (Far from Viet Nam, 1967), five committed filmmakers have embarked on this timely project on the longest (and least talked about) war in US history. Come watch the film and meet the 'mind' behind the project, director John Gianvito who stated: "My work on this project is an unbottling of years of deep-seated frustration over our collective capacity to turn away from our actions and responsibilities in the world."
