The Festival (DVD)

The film festival circuit is parodied in this amusing mocumentary-style movie. THE FESTIVAL begins by following a young filmmaker named Rufus Marquez, who is being filmed by a documentary crew as he takes his first film to the fictitious Mountain United Film Festival (M.U.F.F.). On arrival Marquez encounters ludicrously pretentious figures, film festival groupies, burnt-out Hollywood players, and actors with impossibly lofty opinions of themselves. A spirited and well-observed satire of the film festival circuit, THE FESTIVAL may prove to be uncomfortable viewing for industry veterans. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
