SVA Theater says…

The Blackout Film Fest began in '04, as filmmakers gathered to share their experiences of the previous summer's blackout. Now, the fest organizers call for entries dealing with a different community (or national) event or circumstance each year. The theme for today's submissions: it's the economy, stupid. And, for such a dour and depressing subject, the films collected are surprisingly upbeat. The full program screens at each showing, so you won't miss out on any of the winning films — whether animation, documentary, or music video.
