If getting sand in your crotch while watching awesome short films sounds like a good time, then you better head on out to the first ever Black Rock City Film Festival, which is taking place right now, Aug. 30 to Sept. 3, at the legendary Burning Man gathering in the Nevada desert. If you’re already at Burning Man, hopefully you get cell reception and can see this lineup so you know where the best place is to be every night.
This event is a joint endeavor for the Boston Underground Film Festival and San Francisco’s IndieFest, who have selected over two dozen short films to screen at their open air theater. There are no start times for when these films will screen, but I would assume it would be sometime after sundown. Plus, there will be cocktail parties before and after the screenings, as well as Opening Night and Closing Night bashes.

If you aren’t a fan, you are probably very confused right about now.
The Luchadores of Mexico have a long history of starring in quickie exploitation films, where in addition to the Aztec Mummy, they fought vampires, werewolves, Frankenstein, evil doctors, bloody apes, and just about anything else that the scriptwriters could conjure up. Most of these films stayed south of the border, but as some of the population moved El Norte, the movies naturally followed. (Fangoria covered the genre in several issues...
