“Lost Film Fest is my favorite film event ever” - Sam Green, dir. The Weather Underground.

...hosted by vj SCOTT BEIBIN (co-founder of the EVIL TWIN BOOKING AGENCY, HOLLYWOODCAN SUCKIT.COM, and founder of BLOODLINK RECORDS), LOST FILM FEST is a mix of live performance and rare short films featuring pranks by culture jammers like THE YES MEN, sexy-smash-it-up riot footage, illegal art, media archaeology, clips censored by the mainstream media, video re-mixes, and so much more. Lost Film Fest Travels the planet year round. You never know where it will turn up next! Revolutionaries and “the kids” all agree: Lost Film Fest “is better than bad, it’s good!”. This jam is about smashing the illusions cast by Hollywood, the Pentagon, and FOX News. Yeah! Lost Film Fest: resurrecting Abbie Hoffman since 1999.

At the Evergreen State College in Lecture Hall 1 (right next to Red Square) from 7-10pm.

"...The venues Beibin ambushes are equally guerrilla: rooftops, warehouses, backyards, empty lots and even other film fests (Cannes, Sundance, etc). When the 2005 G8 Summit was held in Scotland, he invited Seattle’s now-defunct Infernal Noise Brigade, a 25-person punk-rock marching band, to join him in the protests. They rented a double-decker bus and set out to rabble-rouse. The demonstration ended in a haze of helicopters, horses, attack dogs and pepper spray. Most notoriously, Beibin used the hallowed exterior of Yale’s Skull and Bones building as a projection surface. When the cops rolled up and asked what he was doing, Beibin shrugged and said, “Showin’ some movies.” The officers chuckled and drove away. That’s not to say everything Beibin does is overtly mutinous. In 2004, he embarked on a swing-states tour by posing as a youth pastor. He booked himself at churches and presented a program called “A Spiritual Approach to Understanding the Election.” The reaction surprised him. “I thought I was gonna be run out of town by people with burning sticks,” says Beibin with a laugh. “But they were really receptive. In fact, the farmers were more familiar with the IMS and World Bank than city liberals.” (They then proceeded to call him naive for worrying about movies when the Rapture was coming; but hey, take it where you can get it.)..." - URB Magazine - issue 149
