ACT Theatre continues its RAWSTOCK film festival with “Light & Dark” on Friday July 25 at 8:45 pm. Off the heels of the wildly successful Winter and Spring RAWSTOCK festivals, this Summer festival goes from Light to Dark and promises to be the most unpredictable RAWSTOCK thus far. Heavy with local filmmakers, Light & Dark is unique in its structure and content: 20 all-new films in one night; split into two mini-screenings, one with Light themes, one with very Dark themes. The mini-screenings will be separated by an intermission featuring a surprise local musical talent.
Light & Dark includes the world premieres of Shawn Telford’s A Night In The Sunlight, his follow up to the audience favorite Gimme Music<, Gimme Shelter; Jason Reid’s Waiting In Line To Die, a controversial meditation on America’s favorite amusement park; and Darrius Schieder’s Rinse Cycle, the continued saga of one man’s love for a hand-towel. Featured Seattle premieres include: Calvin Lee Reeder’s Rambler, a disturbing yarn that thrilled Sundance filmgoers this year; ES Wochinskey’s Shiner, revenge…redneck-style; and Steve Fogell’s Engagement, an all-Seattle cast lead by local comedic tour-de-force, John Hildenbiddle. RAWSTOCK perennial favorite Mitch Magee returns with a second episode of Welcome To My Study.
Doors open at 8:00 and the show begins at 8:45 pm. WARNING: some films in the “Dark” portion of the evening contain graphic violence and shocking images. For ages 21 and older.
