I haven't.  Kind of regretting never going now.  But to be honest, I'm not aware of any in the St. Louis area that cater to my kind of films.  Anyone know any?  I like a lot of stuff, but I'm not willing to go to a festival just to see a few interesting imports and art house films.  I want to go to see B-movies, foreign action films, underground horror, exploitation, that sort of thing - genre stuff.  It'd be worth it to meet like-minded people.

I've been thinking about trying to make a trip to Chicago, as I know there a few out there. 


Jim, that b-movie fest near Indianapolis in Spetember that RC and I were talking about would be closer to you than Chicago, I think. 


Are you talking about this one?

If so, that is indeed closer than the city of Chicago.  About 50 miles closer, actually.  Looks like around a 5 hour drive.  Might be worth it, I'll have to see what the schedule is. 

Last year they had Lloyd Kaufman, Harry Manfredini, and Tom Holland as guests - pretty good ones, I think.


Yes, that's the one.  I wish they had the schedule up.  Last year they showed at least 50 B-movie classics, and perhaps 1-3 new films.

They have the River's Edge Film Festival here, mostly low budget independent stuff, occasionally one will be good.

I've been to many/most  of the local film festivals here in Portland. I've never been to a major one like cannes or sundance. I have submitted a short to sundance... I have my rejection letter somewhere... Wink

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
