Tuesday, August 5 – DRUID FILM FESTIVAL – 8
PM
The cream of a crop of over 400 video entries, The Druid Underground Short
Film Festival has been a brutally independent force lurking in the most creative
recesses of the contemporary Los Angeles artscape. A common characteristic
of Druidic societies is that certain elements of their worship are unknown
to those outside the circle. Having the opportunity to curate a weekly show
at the now defunct art and performance venue "Il Corral" in Hollywood,
William Burgess established the Druid Underground in 2006 as a forum to present
works, which would act as a sort of spiritual combat against the hollow mass
of tedious video art. CURATOR IN ATTENDANCE! Burgessministry.com
