By: Royal Flush Festival RFF is named after its new partner, Royal Flush Magazine, a nationally-distributed killer rag that celebrates underground music, art, video games, pop-culture and indie movies with a strict, no-fluff stance. A logical pairing of allied organizations, equally impassioned in their commitment to awesome content and a shared obsession for the media and culture, The Royal Flush Festival will work extensively to showcase the best in art, film and music while giving its filmmakers, artists and musicians greater exposure. RFF also announces some highly anticipated films selected for early acceptance, INCLUDING the New York Premieres of Merle Becker’s "American Artifact," Harrod Blank’s "Automorphosis," "American Artifact" chronicles the rise of American rock poster art since its birth in the '60s featuring interviews with renown artists Stanley Mouse, Victor Moscoso, Frank Kozik, Art Chantry, EMEK, Tara McPherson, Derek Hess, COOP, Jay Ryan and more. Director Merle Becker and artist Tara McPherson will be in attendance for the film and Q&A. "Automorphosis" "Abraham Obama" is a humorous and provocative look at an unprecedented political art movement. Street artist Ron English gathers a crew of professional pranksters and hits the road on a grassroots campaign to make public art and promote Obama's campaign for the Presidency. Director Kevin Chapados and artist Ron English will be in attendance for the film and Q&A. In addition to its eclectic line-up of film, art and music, RFF will also function as a networking component through its original and informative panel discussions, as well as kick-ass after parties. “We are certainly indie film snobs but we also happen to take our debauchery very seriously,” says RFF Film Director Jim Muscarella.
