The Best Of the Druid Underground Film Festival
Jun. 20th, 2008 | 08:00 pm
Originally published at The Placebo. You can comment here or there.
8pm, Friday June 20th at the Placebo, 411 12th St, Eureka

18 mind-blowing works, most of which can only be seen through this fest.
When curator William Burgess came to Los Angeles, he uncovered hives of “video art”- trapped in galleries and classrooms, films which inspire little more than restful sleep in the creative person. But through time one or two projects would grab him, unexpectedly with emotion. These were the incidental videos, the unknowns that came out of bedrooms or could only be seen on a hi-8 camera while huddled in the corner of a dorm room. These works had real moments, real feelings but would probably end up like most video tapes- rotting in a closet, never to be seen again.
Having the opportunity to curate a weekly show at the now defunct art and performance venue “Il Corral” in Hollywood, Burgess established the Druid Underground in 2006 as a forum to present works, which would act as a sort of spiritual combat against the hollow mass of tedious video art.
Selected from over 400 entries, the Best-Of the Druid Underground Film Festival features:
- SKATEBANG
Damon Packard - STEVE IRWIN SONG
Christian Cummings and Lee Lynch - REFLECTIONS OF TERROR AT 5
Cara Elizabeth - JIMMY JEINSEITS
Romeo Grunfelder - DECORATION AND YOU
Trulee Grace Hall - BUG SHOW
Aimee Goguen and Kyle Haefs - LET’S MEAT
Ben Cuevas - I LIVE IN THE WOODS
Max Winston - I’M A BIG GIRL NOW
Margie Schibbe - APRIL’S FOOL
Moises Jimenez - KABIR SONG
Anal Shah - DIGITOPIA
Miwa Matreyek -
KEEP-A-KNOCKIN’
JSDB - HALLOWEEN THRILLER
Timothy Dwelle - TV SABOTAGE
Kid Mankowitz - BUFFY DREAMS
John Allee -
SON OF SATAN
JJ Villard - HORS-HUMAIN
Yann Minh - FANTASYCORE
