Can You Handle 50 Minutes of the Worst Film Ever Made? New MN Film Festival Will Test You
If you're the kind of person that is drawn to strange-looking VHS tapes at garage sales and secondhand stores, this festival is right up your alley.
This is like a circus sideshow of film festivals, with a lineup of films that most people have never heard of, promising an experience that is both bizarre and unexpectedly delightful. One movie is SO bad, that if you make it through the entire thing, you may win a prize.
The Junk Food Film Festival is being hosted at Zeitgeist Zinema 2 on April 19th and 20th, event organizers say the festival will feature "VHS culture, genre films, midnight movies, and so bad-it’s-good schlock." And the lineup of films certainly fits that description. A pass for the festival is only $20, and are available here.
