SF IndieFest presents
ANOTHER HOLE IN THE HEAD FILM FESTIVAL
Horror, Sci-Fi, Mayhem and Merriment
June 5-18, 2009 at the Roxie Film Center in San Francisco
SF IndieFest unleashes ghosts, madmen, monsters, and futuristic merriment at the 6th annual Another Hole in the Head Film Festival running June 5-18, 2009 at the Roxie Film Center, 3117 Sixteenth Street, in San Francisco. For tickets or more information please call (415) 820-3907 or click on www.sfindie.com.
If the myriad traumas of daily life in the big city get to be too much and it seems like only neuron-shattering screams or a trip to an alternate universe will ease your mind, then the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival is just what the mad doctor ordered. Once again Hole in the Head presents the finest in contemporary horror, horror-comedy, sci-fi and dark fantasy with a collection of films from America and abroad, all the mayhem that fits on a celluloid print.
“Sukeban has a problem. The foulmouthed, hard-fighting son of a biker, the teenaged boy has been cursed with the looks of a pop princess. The looks lead to teasing, the teasing leads to fighting, the fighting leads to expulsions - expulsions from every boys’ high school in the region. What’s a biker who’s nurturing conflicted feelings for his gender-confused child to do in such a situation? Simple! Dress the boy up as a girl and enroll him in an all-girls high school. But girls’ schools are strange, disturbing places and, within a day of arriving, Sukeban has been signed up for humiliation classes and forced to do battle with the various school gangs: the Pantyhose League, the No-Bra League, and — of course — the Full Strip League.”
