The Last Call Film Festival plays its second year at the historic Rudyard Kipling multi-performance space in Louisville, Kentucky. Festival highlights will include "Plagues and Pleasures of the Salton Sea", a John Waters-narrated, whacky character-filled documentary about California's answer to the French Riviera, which became "the greatest sewer the world has ever seen." Also featured will be Azazel Jacob's critically acclaimed, "The Good Times Kid", a story about stolen love and stolen identities... shot on stolen film!
Fest director Andy Schanie will conclude each evening with a live band--Vampire Squid and Lucky Pineapple, respectively.
Various film directors will be on hand, including Buzzine editor-in-chief Richard Elfman, who will do a Q & A after the screening of his lunatic classic, "Forbidden Zone". Elfman reportedly mooned the audience at a recent San Francisco film fest screening in response to a question about "why the gratuitous nudity in Forbidden Zone". Then, in response to the attendant criticism, Elfman threatened to bite the head off a live chicken at his next film fest (which happens to be the Last Call, in Louisville).
As The Rudyard Kipling venue features food and liquor, the Last Call Film Festival promises to be both a highly cultural yet raucously fun event.
