"BATTLE ROYALE" Cosplay Screening Contest!
It’s been a blast having the week-long run of Battle Royale in our house — and this upcoming 9:15PM show on Friday night will be made even more fun, since it’s our special cosplay screening! Come in Battle Royale costume, and get in for half-price!
As well, our friends at FEARnet will host a Best Costume contest with prizes, and local J-pop DJ crew Tune In Tokyo will spin tunes before the show.
For those who wanna put together a costume for the night, but don’t know where to start, check out this pretty helpful rundown of how to do it. And, just sayin’ — an extra quart of fake blood splattered all over your costume might give you an extra edge!

EVERYTHING IS FESTIVAL returns!
EVERYTHING IS FESTIVAL returns!
Last year’s team-up with our friends in found footage fevery and thievery, Everything Is Terrible!, was such a blast, we knew we had to make this an annual institution. We saw the possibility for Everything Is Festival! to be more than just a found footage celebration, and that if we combined it with Cinefamily’s previous annual Comedy Festival, we’d have something really special: 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? Does it even matter? Is truth stranger than fiction? It’s everything both Everything is Terrible! and Cinefamily both love: discovery, weirdness, and just plain fun. Here’s what’s confirmed so far:
- - A live panel feat. the writing staff from Conan O’Brien’s TBS talk show “Conan”!
- - Andrew W.K.’s brand-new über-motivational live lecture!
- - Mark Hosler (of Negativland)’s Adventures In Illegal Art: a live video/storytelling presentation on the history of Negativland’s infamous and hilarious media hoaxes!
- - A tribute to the Firesign Theater, with founding Firesign members Phil Proctor and Peter Bergman!
- - Neil Hamburger’s tribute to Dora Hall, the queen of “vanity entertainment”!
