The year 2020 may be remembered as the "Lost Year" in Cinema, but the Straight-Jacket Guerrilla Film Festival stands ready to save us all. This innovative online festival operates years ahead of the mainstream film industry, curating the most daring and unconventional movies from around the world for viewers to enjoy from home—particularly relevant if pandemic restrictions continue.
Audiences will experience the finest in outsider cinema: from cursed movies and aviation disasters to African mafia narratives, conspiracy theories, Antichrist comedies, and the best of Experimental & Independent Underground Cinema. One might wonder if our minds are prepared for this year's bold selections, and if international circumstances will permit the festival to proceed as planned. In truth, this film festival offers the perfect antidote to coronavirus isolation—stay indoors and immerse yourself in boundary-pushing cinema.
