TIX:
Everything Is Terrible! and Cinefamily present:
THE 2ND ANNUAL EVERYTHING IS FESTIVAL!
Thursday, June 30th - Monday, July 4th
This 4th of July weekend, The Cinefamily has teamed up with those maestros of found footage comedy at Everything is Terrible! for the second time to present Everything is Festival 2011 -- an insane and eclectic five day celebration of everything we both love: discovery, weirdness, and just plain fun. The lineup includes “keynote” speaker Mark Hosler from Negativland, Andrew W.K. delivering his legendary motivational speech, a tribute to the Firesign Theatre, Neil Hamburger dipping into his personal collection of obscure TV specials made by a 70-year-old grandmother, a group show of video mash-up insanity (co-curated by Four Four, and including contributors ranging from TV Carnage to Rob Schrab), a closing 4th of July BBQ featuring Joe Dante’s epic 1969 4-hour found footage film The Movie Orgy and much, much more. It’s a kind of gonzo convention for the most insane collectors of film and video ephemera (all of our friends basically), mixed in with with all of our favorite people on frontier of the comedy scene -- people pushing the envelope of what comedy even is. Is that funny or just fuckin’ weird? Is truth stranger than fiction? Who made this and why? Does it even matter? Check out the incredible line-up below::
