Here's a thread to discuss the FESTIVAL portion of SF/38. So far, TWO films have been announced:

MARS ET AVRIL (2012): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1638277/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

EARTHBOUND (2012): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1709653/

More feature films and shorts to be announced shortly.

So far, it looks like Mars et Avril (which my Canadian friends seemed pretty impressed by when it played a festival up there) and three comedies which look to be attempting to get laughs by goofing on the genre.

Because attempting to emulate bad movies always has good results, right?

1. There are no guarantees in (marathon) life

2. Speak of the devil, I think we may have found a sequel that just got booked for the fest: HISTORY OF FUTURE

RE: Guarantees
I know someone who does not like to attend events, or see films, or shows, or visit people unless she is guaranteed a good time, people she will definitely enjoy, and familiar stuff. As a result she doesn't get out much and is bored to tears much of the time. Undecided

Good question...almost too good. Maybe it's best to leave that up to you, Garen and the jury members who will actually see the films beforehand.

I take it the Gort winner will again be featured as well as a surprise. Any one of them could be a contender as far as I can tell now.

The True story according to their facebook page is scheduled for showings on February 9 & 10. Goliath is advertising a February 16 showing. So that would be 2 different War of the Worlds movies.

If I understand Feckbook correctly,
both the 'festival and 'thon are playing

"The Ghastly Love of Johnny X"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umH1IhuWchY

It was Kevin McCarthy's last film and looks like a Larry Blamire film but isn't.
