REPORT FROM BRAINWASH MOVIES, OAKLAND, CA
We are Brainwash Movies, doing the Brainwash Movie Festival. We’ve been going every year for 24 years, and are looking forward to celebrating our 25th Silver anniversary this festival season, in July. Presenting an aesthetic beyond the parameters of the everyday & the usual, we expand into the roots of the underground, experimental & just plain charming.
Our top winners last year were: 2nd Grand Prize Award to Twice Upon a Time by Vojin Vasovic and the First Prize Award to High Five the Cactus by Christopher Allan Thomas.
Our festival is a mainstay in the local, East Bay of the San Francisco Bay, CA, area. Submissions are now open on our website, directly at http://www.brainwashm.com/2019-call/, FilmfreeWay, Withoutabox and other major submission platforms online.
We’re also looking for interested individuals to participate with us.
Thank you reading this dribble.
