Upcoming Geeky, Freaky Screenings in NYC: LARPing and Erotic Don Knotts and Pope Kidnapping OH MY!

Don't think it doesn't pain me that I'm not going to get a chance to attend the NYC premiere of "The Wild Hunt" in Manhattan this Sunday, April 11. The 15th Annual Gen Art Film Festival, which celebrates the work of emerging filmmakers, will be screening the Canadian action/thriller "The Wild Hunt," which is set against the background of a medieval-themed LARP event. My interest was piqued after watching a trailer some number of weeks ago, and upon learning that this won the Audience Award at Slamdance, well... suffice to say that sealed the deal for me. If your calendar is aligned in a more fortuitous manner than my own, you can get tickets right here on the Gen Art Website. Check out the trailer below:

Next Friday, April 16th, it's once again time for Kevin Maher's Kevin Geeks Out at 92YTribeca. After missing last month's show, which by all accounts was an AMAZING presentation on sharks in cinema, due to an all-weekend D&D fest (I'll have you know that my dwarf acrobat kicked a not-insignificant amount of ass, friends), there's no way I'm missing out on the April All-Stars show. I mean, who am *I* to resist the allure of a presentation on an evening that will include such presentations as “Don Knotts: Reluctant Sex Object" and "Jesus versus Magneto?” This event DOES sell out, so be sure to grab your advance tickets on the 92YTribeca website ahead of time.

Rumor has it that there will be another Tenebrous Presentation at an upcoming Geek Out--watch this space for more info!

Lastly, but by no means leastly, Grindhouse Releasing has announced more screening dates for Duke Mitchell's amazing-looking crime opus "Gone with the Pope." New Yorkers should rejoice with me that the film will be screening at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema on East Houston Street on June 4th and 5th. Be there or miss out on overwhelming awesome. Witness the trailer once again:
