Whats the Lineup for Lost Film Fest? (Please Read)
The Lost Film Fest is not like every (ANY?) other film fest. “What’s playing this year?” isn’t exactly the right question.
What makes LFF unique is that it’s an interactive experience incorporating storytelling with short films. I set up a laptop and video projector in the center of the room, and show movies. The event feels much like a DJ spinning records. Instead of music, there’s narration, comedy, and video clips. I add new stuff and subtract old stuff all the time to keep the program fresh. THE ANSWER TO “what’s playing?” is almost impossible to predict. The idea is that you’ll see a curated set of short clips that have a certain feel depending on the mood of the audience and what’s happening in the news.
Imagine Mystery Science Theater 3000 mixed with a heavy helping of Noam Chomsky and Pee Wee Herman.
Below are some films that have been programmed in the past, so you may possibly see some of these films, however I have an average of 800 clips at any time on my harddrive, which I choose from.
I usually don’t create setlists in advance unless there’s a specific theme we’re going for. The spontaneity of chance is what makes Lost Film Fest unique and fun. you may not know what you’re going to see, but for sure it won’t suck.
Your humble narrator-curator-troublemaker,
Scott Beibin

If corporations and politicians make you want to puke, and you'd like
to see them getting pied, and pranked, you'll love the Lost Film Fest
cinema laboratory. Revolutionaries and "the kids" all agree: Lost Film
Fest "is better than bad, it's good!". This dynamic program is hosted
by Scott Beibin, co-founder of the Evil Twin Booking Agency, founder
of Bloodlink Records, and prolific prankster (perhaps you've seen
Jerry Springer episode with Beibin and Justin Pearson from The
Locust?). It's three hours of hilarious and smart performance
incorporating politically charged films by emerging directors, hoax
masters like The Yes Men, as well as riot footage and news that
doesn't make the nightly news. Lost Film Fest travels the planet year
round doing shows in all kinds of venues and settings.

"Lost Film Fest is my favorite film event ever" - Sam Green, dir. The
Weather Underground
Lost Film Fest is a live multimedia performance hosted and narrated by VJ Scott Beibin (Evil Twin Booking, HollywoodCanSuckIt.com, and Bloodlink Records). The roadshow travels the globe almost 200 days a year doing programs in multiple countries in multiple languages.
Lost Film Fest has been traveling the globe since 1999 featuring the NEWEST short video clips and banned hard-to-find footage from around the world. It’s a laugh-a-riot! (with equal emphasis on both “laugh” and “riot”). Some people say it’s like the film equivalent of an underground dance party with all the chaos and energy. It’s probably the only film fest with an FBI file.
Lost Film Fest: Anthems for the revolution. Destruction and creation. How to Do It Yourself, Mirth and mischief. Pirate Radio,TV, and knitting! Action and adventure documentaries for the politically aware. Alternative and truthful versions of current events, Fair Use and the Creative Commons celebrated, hit and run cultural consciousness. Thinking Inside-out with your crap detector turned up to 11. Robots! Vegans! Trainhoppers and Hobgoblins! GLBTosity!, The spark. The fire, the smoke. desire...Embrace the chaos! Its an adventure you’ll never forget. [*not necessarily in that order]
You’re sure to see a new show each time featuring pranks vs. corporations, riot porn, pie fights with cops, culture jamming. and more from folks like THE YES MEN, GUERRILLA NEWS NETWORK, & TV SHERIFF. Loads of new and original stuff you can’t yet find on the internet and especially TV.
This jam is about smashing the illusions cast by Hollywood, the Pentagon, and FOX News. Yeah!
More than just a film screening, Lost Film Fest is live multimedia performance. A give and take experience, Scott Beibin spins the films in the same way a DJ spins records, and narrates the scoop with hidden histories, and behind the scenes info. The program is a barrage of scathing and hilarious short blasts of social commentary and hot amateur protest footage from around the world. The show is action packed and never drags for even a second. While Lost Film Fest sports a strong underground / guerrilla aesthetic, it regularly appears at theatres and universities, but its indigenous environs are that of squats, clubs, warehouses, political convergences, & rooftops. Lost Film Fest is also available for Bar Mitzvahs and weddings! Check it out!
