It’s four days of experimental media madness in the Sunshine State when the 7th annual Florida Experimental Film/Video Festival — also known as Flex Fest — runs in Gainesville on Feb. 17-20. The majority of the festival will take place at the Top Secret Space, with the exception of a Saturday afternoon screening of all 35mm films at the Hippodrome State Theater.
This year’s judges for the festival are film preservationist Mark Toscano and filmmaker Vanessa Renwick, both of whom will open the fest with two curated programs. First, Toscano will be screening several rare underground films from the late ’50s to the early ’70s, from filmmakers such as Fred Worden, David Bienstock, Chris Langdon and more. Then, Renwick will screen several of her own short documentaries, including the wonderfully eerie Britton, South Dakota and the touching 9 is a secret. These are two events that really are not to be missed.

In our recent interview with The War at Home writer Bill Kunstler, he shared some thoughts about the joys of writing for the Fox sitcom, how the show ended, and what might have happened to some of the characters in season three. Bill also discussed some of the topics that the show was able to touch upon, something that few other current sitcoms do in an honest way -- subjects like homosexuality, teen drinking, and smoking pot.
One subject that was apparently deemed a little too controversial involves religion. In "Jesus Larry," Larry (Kyle Sullivan) discovers Jesus Christ and his father, Dave (Michael Rappaport), has a hard time dealing with his son's newfound love of Christianity. Though everyone felt the script was very funny, it was decided that it shouldn't be produced.
