It’s lucky 13 for the fun and fabulous Coney Island Film Festival! That’s right, 2013 will see the 13th annual edition of this New York City staple that combines the fine art of filmmaking with the rambunctious art of sideshow performing on Sept. 20-22.
The fest opens on the 20th with the documentary More Than the Rainbow, a profile of Matt Weber, an NYC cab driver who moonlights as an art photographer. The film is directed by Dan Wechsler.
Other docs screening at the fest include the uplifting tale of A Clown’s Recovery, directed by Matthew Broomfield; the sports drama of One Wall: Kings of Coney Island, directed by Joe Glickman; the profile of a Coney Island legend in The Commander in Chief, directed by Jim McDonnell; the struggle of Bending Steel, directed by Dave Carroll; and World Circus, directed by Angela Snow.
But, there are also fiction films in the mix,...

Not all Kaiju come from deep in the Pacific to level buildings and wipe out populations… some come from vending machines and just want to explore a little.
"Little Kaiju" follows a mysterious creature who emerges from a shadowy alleyway and embarks on a journey through the streets of Tokyo. The cute design and child-like curiosity of the "little monster" in this short are beautifully contrasted against Tokyo's dark alleyways and bright neon lights. There isn't really a story to follow, but be sure to watch until the very end.
The short was written and directed by Jonathan and Josh Baker (a.k.a. TWiN) and stars Tei Ryushin.
