Dead Channels Film Festival S.F. Vortex Party - October 2nd, 2008
Well, it's that time of year and having won the coveted Best of The Bay award last year the warped genius of Bruce Fletcher is back to dish up more Horror, Sci-Fi, Splatter, Extreme Shock Japanese film and much more. You have something better to do? I find that very difficult to believe. Yes, I do. This is a fine chance to hang out in the fog, mill around the Roxie cinema on 16th at Valencia and take in some of the very best picks possible. You like horror films? Oh, you will like this...
So, last night at the Vortex - SoMa, S.F.. The Vortex Room is quite possibly the last of a breed of underground clubs. It's film focus and uber chic crowd of the sexy and the hip have been known to party until the wee hours of the morn. Me? I am tired and wretched so I was only there in the start of the night and can only confim that there were beautiful women and dashing young men. There were cocktails and some spiraling visuals projected on the walls that reminded me of an era gone by. A poster for 'The Weird World of LSD' caught my eye and reminded me, that yes, this year's theme? Well, it certainly gives credence to the tag line of a festival that promises to "BLOW YOUR MIND!" I've seen some of the Bruce picks for this year's festival and can assure you it will most certainly blow your mind. The films begin today, October 3d and will run until October 10th.
Never been to a film festival? Oh, goodness. You are in for a rare treat. Not only will you get a chance to see many films that are hard if not impossible to access, but you get to party with the band! What could be better? Got a question? Wonder what they were thinking? There will be a good cluster of delegates - film makers, actors and their troops. You can pipe up in the Q&A or hang out with them and drink beers after the film at the Delerium on 16th and Albion. What were they thinking? Really? Why this film? How many buckets of blood in the face and who made the space craft? From what? They used what?! This is a good time. You should be there too.
