Philadelphia Film Festival

From April 5-18, Philadelphia will be hosting its annual film festival. Most of these films will probably never make any high notoriety than this festival, but that doesn't mean that they should all be ignored. Some are definitely not meant for the general public, while others are made by sexual lusting perverts. The main idea is for no namers to get their names out there. Here is a few movies that seem quite interesting:

American Fork-from the creators of Napoleon Dynamite, comes the story of an obese grocery store worker who sets out on his dream to become an actor.

Bothersome Man- about a young man sent into a world of bizarre occurrences and everyday rituals.

Consequences- An annual weekend football get away in Philadelphia about five old friends, whose lives take a miserable turn for the worst in this sex-crazed, underground world of Philly.

Curse of William Penn- takes a look at the frustrated lives of Philadelphia fans and their hard luck over the recent years.

Dante's Inferno- cardboard cut-out view of a modern day Dante's Inferno.

Dead Daughters- International horror film sensation from Russia, about three vengeful female spirits.

End of the Line- a group of strangers unites in an effort to escape blood-crazy Christian cult-members in a subway chamber fueled by apocalyptic fever.

Fair Play- careerism gone wrong in this corporate way of life, where the action takes place in a natural setting of cliffs and waterfalls where it is much easier to get revenge on your co-worker.

Feel- A sexy view on the lives of four men who lives are all connected through an Asian massage parlor they all seek out on the same day to fill their emotional spaces.

Mojave Phone Booth- based on true events, a film about a phone booth in south Nevada that serves as an otherworldly support system of mystifiyng sorts.

Princess- a Danish film about a priest who seeks revenge on pornographers who exploited his dead sister.

Red Road- in the not so distant future, everyone is monitored by the government to ensure the safety of the society. A government employee must confront a man who has resurfaced from the past.

Severance- A British horror film that lives up to its promises.

Slumming- a twisted road of events occur for two young slackers, after a cruel, practical joke is played on a drunk homeless guy.
