1st annual Mascara & Popcorn Festival, July 4-11


Mascara & Popcorn is a week-long festival making its debut in July 2011, uniting independent filmmakers and artists alike in the hopes that it will impact communities in a positive and creative way and inspire underground filmmakers and artists to express themselves in an atmosphere they feel is right for them. Mascara & Popcorn is in fact an indie film festival as well as a unique cultural happening that encourages experimental, thought-provoking, subversive art.

With a visual and atmospheric blend of cult classic movie trailers, posters, memorabilia, post-modern horror, homages to grindhouse, eccentric makeup artists and stylists, psychedelic painters, singers, burlesque and fetische performers and a mix of punk, disco, funk, retro electro, new wave and electronica, all offering the perfect setting for participants who in return, will have the freedom to present pretty much anything they deem fit for the event.

The festival runs for a week at various venues. Many of the events are free.
