Part

The 2nd X Fest Short Film Collection (Worldwide - up to 2010) FRIDAY 5 MARCH 2010 8:30pm Another feature length collection of off-the-map short flix to bend your brain, squirm your flesh, titillate, freak you out or have you howl with laughter. Entries from all over the globe. The short film line-up includes: HORRORFEST PROMO CLIP (South Africa) Dir: Paul Blom BECAUSE THERE ARE THINGS YOU NEVER FORGET... (PORQUE HAY COSAS QUE NUNCA SE OLVIDAN...) (Spain / Argentina) Dir: Lucas Figueroa Winner of over 100 awards. Set in Italy, 1950, this absolutely brilliant short film has a group of young kids playing soccer in the street. When the "evil grandma" intercepts their ball, they plan to exact a sweet revenge. The best soccer-themed movie you're likely to see outside of the world cup hype! HD - 35mm CAM SHOT (Canada) Dir: Eric Falardeau An erotic 8mm experimental short melding sexuality, celluloid and its fetishistic possibilities THE TERRIBLE OLD TRAN (USA) Dir: Armando D. Munoz A hilariously twisted pervy take on H.P. Lovecraft's tale, The Terrible Old Man. Munoz' previous creations "Pervula" and screened at previous installments of The South Africa HORRORFEST and X FEST respectively. "SIEK+SAT" - TERMINATRYX music video (South Africa) Dir: Paul Blom 23 RUE D'AMOUR (South Africa) A classic surreal love story. What bigger sacrifice than to give yourself to your lover? Completely. Without boundaries... Love conquers all. Dirs: Ronnie Belcher & Dr-Benway NOCTURNO CON BRANDY (Spain) It is the 1950s. A man wakes up to the voice of a former employee - explaining his revenge plot in detail... B&W 35mm Dir: Linker SCISSU (Germany) In the seedy world of drugs & sex, there is such a thing as going too far... Shot on Super-16mm. Dir: Tom Bewilogua PUPPY LOVE (South Africa) Love can get crushed so easily... Dir: Robin Ogden TROPEZONES Dir: David Macian & Eduardo Molinari He's crazyy about food... She'll do anything to please him. A perfect romance - as long as there is something left in the fridge. After this twisted romantic comedy you'll never look at food (or your spouse) in the same way again!
