REVOLUTION '67
USA, 2006, 90 MIN
DIRECTED BY MARYLOU TIBALDO-BONGIORNO
WORLD PREMIERE
The American struggle with race, inequality, idealism, and power in the 1960s is explored through the untold story of the riots that erupted in Newark, New Jersey, in 1967. What really happened is told in archival footage and from the mouths of the people who lived it. The filmmakers interview the Activists (Tom Hayden, Amiri Baraka, Sharpe James) and the Power Structure (Brendan Byrne and representatives from the Police and the National Guard). While points of view differ and the media may have fanned the flames, it's true that 26 people died and many other cities soon experienced similar disturbances. REVOLUTION '67 takes on the causes and the personalities behind the Newark riots of 1967 and through them we gain a new perspective on the civil uprisings of the 1960s. A substantial and essential documentary about a chaotic and violent time in American history.

FULL METAL SLACKS
USA, 2005, 5 MIN DIRECTORED BY SCOTT CALONICO
FLORIDA PREMIERE
After authorizing military force in Vietnam, LBJ bought pants over the phone. FULL METAL SLACKS uses that actual call to launch a comic grenade. Another brilliant history lesson from the warped mind of the director of LSA A Go Go and The King and Dick.
