M O V I E - L I N E - U P

	TRASH HUMPERS Cape theatrical premiere SAT 6 AUG, 8:30pm The ever controversial anti-Hollywood movie-maker Harmony Korine's warped & far-out TRASH HUMPERS defies movie-making convention as a VHS camera follows (what appears to be) a group of sociopathic elderly people in Nashville, Tennessee. Korine is know for writing the eye-opening KIDS and directing the dark & gritty GUMMO. TRASH HUMPERS will be preceded by an official screening of DIE ANTWOORD's "Umshini Wam" short film, also directed by Korine. (It will also be part of the X FLIX short film collection) Directed by Harmony Korine Starring Paul Booker, Dave Cloud, Harmony Korine, Rachel Korine, Chris Crofton Click here for a New York post-screening Q&A transcript with Korine from Vice on-line.

	DOLLA MORTE Demented. Disgusting. Dolls! SAT 6 AUG, 6:15pm The crazy DOLLA MORTE commits plastic doll atrocities that make TEAM AMERICA - WORLD POLICE look like The Teletubbies! Features The Pope, George W. Bush, Hitler, a Bin Laden Nosferatu, and even the rock group Kiss! Extreme Metal soundtrack by Immolation, The Wicked, & more. Directed by Bill Zebub Voices by Christof Niederwieser, Michael McMahon, Jen Russo, Jeanne Potter Courtesy Wild Eye Entertainment
	THE MAGICK OF SOLOMON SUN 7 AUG, 4:00pm Lemegeton secrets get revealed in THE MAGICK OF SOLOMON, illustrating the invoking of angels and evoking spirits. Anthropologist and Ceremonial Magician Poke Runyon explains and demonstrates the authentic techniques of ancient Ritual Magick. Caution: Contains interactive hypnotic sequences - not recommended for immature viewers. Courtesy Chemical Burn Entertainment
	DRILLER KILLER The blood runs in rivers... and the drill keeps tearing through flesh & bone SUN 7 AUG, 8:30pm An artist faced with a range of personal and psychological stresses starts to lose it in his New York apartment, pushed to random killings with a drill. Renegade director Abel Ferrara's DRILLER KILLER is a bloody 1979 trip that paved the way for the '80s video nasties outcry. Directed by Abel Ferrara (Ms. 45, The Addiction, original Bad Lieutenant) Starring Abel Ferrara, Carolyn Marz, Baybi Day, Harry Schultz
	X FLiX 2011 FRI 5 AUG, 8:30pm Another batch of exciting short films from around the world you're unlikely to see anywhere else - most making their African debut.

	THE ELECTRIC CHAIR "It's like watching Bukowski box Lenny Bruce with brass knuckles at a dive bar in hell" FRI 5 AUG, 6:15pm THE ELECTRIC CHAIR is a lost, never before released black & white New York cult flick only recently rediscovered, featuring legendary character actor Victor Argo (TAXI DRIVER, TRUE ROMANCE) as a failed stand-up comic trying to revive his career with his acerbic and biting routine on love, society, friendship and god, a sinister electric chair looming behind him on stage... Directed by Mark Eisenstein Starring Victor Argo, Jessica Dublin, James Faivre, Tom Gannon Courtesy Wild Eye Entertainment
	HOUSE OF SIN SAT 6 AUG, 4:00pm In the HOUSE OF SIN patrons are free to explore their desires and perversions. See what goes on behind these closed doors in this dark thriller, made in the UK. Directed by Philip Gardiner Starring John Symes, Nik Spencer, Sarah Dunn Courtesy Chemical Burn Entertainment
	THE TAINT SUN 7 AUG, 6:15pm When society is transformed into a land of sadistic violence and horrible brutality, it is up to Phil O'Ginny and his hot friend, Misandra, to combat the horrible evil that is The Taint. Hilariously gory and un-PC, THE TAINT is in the vein of Peter Jackson's BAD TASTE, with a soundtrack to match. Not for the phallically phobic! Screened at the 2010 S.A. HORRORFEST, this mad indie outing had to get another spin for those who missed it. Directed by Drew Buldoc & Dan Nelson Starring Drew Bolduc, Colleen Walsh, Cody Crenshaw, Kenneth Hall
