MOCKFEST Mockumentary Film Festival Announces Monthly Screenings

Jan. 12, 2009 - PRLog -- MOCKFEST will begin monthly screenings for some of the outstanding films from the festival's 2007 and 2008 seasons.  These films include past award winners, special selections, and student competition entries. Monthly screenings are scheduled for the last weekend of the month, culminating in the festival's main event in May.   "The more intimate venue of the monthly screenings will be great," says festival co-founder, Alesha Noice, "The filmmaker Q & A's will be more personal, giving everyone a chance to interact."

This connection between filmmakers and their audiences is important to festival director G.R. Claveria as well.  "MOCKFEST is a community where fans of the mockumentary genre can immerse themselves in the new world these films create. So many people have come to enjoy the films over the past two years; we decided to do something to spotlight the mockumentary genre all year round."

The first monthly screening can be attended, free of charge, on January 30th, 2009, at 7:30pm at Video Symphony in Burbank.  Seating is extremely limited and is on a first come, first served basis.  The MOCKFEST 2008 Audience Award Winner, feature film Desperately Seeking Paul McCartney, will be screening. The screening is being attended by the filmʼs star, Ruth Anson, as well as Marc Cushman and Alan Bernhoft, who will give a Q & A session after the film.  The address for Video Symphony is  266 E Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91502.
