Last weekend "Drive-in Horrorshow" was screened at the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival.

The Riviera Theatre.

The festival ran for ten days from April 16 to the 26th and featured a wide array of films. Some of the highlights for us were Tequila Mockingbird, Under My Garden, Bathtub to Happiness, Left Field, and Wings of Silver : The Vi Cowden Story.

The buffalo stands guard at the theatre.

Tequila Mockingbird showcases the sick and brilliant musician/comedian John Valby, AKA Dr. Dirty. Dr. Dirty elevates juvenile playground humor to disgusting, hilarious levels. If you know who he is then you'll love this film, and if you're easily offended then stay far away. Check out the trailer (Adult Content -Not Safe for Work):

 

There were quite a few films from around the globe. Under My Garden is a well-crafted short from Italy about a boy whose love of insects leads him to some unpleasant discoveries. Does his quiet neighborhood hide dark secrets? Bathtub to Happiness is a German short that tells the story of a man and woman who find themselves in a magic bathtub that shows them the ups and downs of love. This film is very charming, and features great performances and special effects. Check out the trailer (Adult Content -Not Safe for Work):

"Left Field" is a great documentary about kickball that becomes a much deeper film about life, happiness, and sorrow. We saw this film at the Austin Film Fest in November and covered it here. Driveinhorrorshow.com/Blog/AustinFF.php

"Wings of Silver : The VI Cowden Story" is a bittersweet film about Vi Cowden, who was a pilot in World War II. She was part of the W.A.S.P (The Women Airforce Service Pilots) program, which was an important part of the US war effort. Interviews with Vi, now ninety-two, showcase her upbeat personality and inspirational outlook on life. This film is a must for history buffs and feminists alike. See trailer below and more information at their website.

Off to the Indy Horror Film Fest next week....more to come.
