The X FEST Extreme-, Underground-, & Cult Film Festival
Chapter 4
August 05-07 2011
@ The Labia Theatre - 68 Orange Street, Gardens, Cape Town, ZA
The most outrageous film festival on South African soil steamrollers its way into its 4th chapter, defying cinematic conventions and expectations!
Catch some of the most outrageous movies this side of the asylum at South Africa's only extreme, underground, and cult film fest across 5-7 August at The Labia Theatre (Orange Str, Cape Town).
All event updates at www.XFEST.org
The wild alternative movie line-up will include:
(screening times released later this week)
TRASH HUMPERS
Making its Cape theatrical premiere is the ever controversial anti-Hollywood movie-maker Harmony Korine's warped & far-out TRASH HUMPERS. This unconventional visual document has a VHS camera following (what appears to be) a group of sociopathic elderly people in Nashville, Tennessee. Korine is known for writing the eye-opening KIDS and directing the dark & gritty GUMMO.
TRASH HUMPERS will be preceded by an official screening of DIE ANTWOORD's "Umshini Wam" short film, also directed by Harmony Korine.
Starring Paul Booker, Dave Cloud, Harmony Korine, Rachel Korine, Chris Crofton.

DRILLER KILLER
The blood runs in rivers... The drill keeps drilling...
An artist faced with a range of personal and psychological stresses starts to lose it in his New York apartment, pushed to committing random killings with a drill. Renegade director Abel Ferrara's DRILLER KILLER is a bloody 1979 trip that paved the way for the '80s video nasties outcry.
Directed by Abel Ferrara (Ms. 45, The Addiction, original Bad Lieutenant). Starring Abel Ferrara, Carolyn Marz, Baybi Day, Harry Schultz.
THE HOUSE OF SIN
In THE HOUSE OF SIN patrons are free to explore their desires and perversions. See what goes on behind these closed doors in this dark thriller. Made in the UK.
Directed by Philip Gardiner. Starring John Symes, Nik Spencer, Sarah Dunn.
Courtesy Chemical Burn Entertainment
THE TAINT
When society is transformed into a land of sadistic violence and horrible brutality, it is up to Phil O'Ginny and his hot friend, Misandra, to combat the horrible evil that is The Taint. Hilariously gory and un-PC, THE TAINT is in the vein of Peter Jackson's BAD TASTE, with a soundtrack to match. Not for the phallically phobic! Screened at the 2010 S.A. HORRORFEST, this mad indie outing had to get another spin for those who missed it.
Directed by Drew Bolduc & Dan Nelson. Starring Drew Bolduc, Colleen Walsh, Cody Crenshaw, Kenneth Hall.
THE ELECTRIC CHAIR
"It's like watching Bukowski box Lenny Bruce with brass knuckles at a dive bar in hell"
THE ELECTRIC CHAIR is a lost, never before released black & white New York cult flick only recently rediscovered. Features legendary character actor Victor Argo (TAXI DRIVER, TRUE ROMANCE) in a rare lead role as a failed stand-up comic trying to revive his career with his acerbic and biting routine on love, society, friendship and god, a sinister electric chair looming behind him on stage...
Directed by Mark Eisenstein. Starring Victor Argo, Jessica Dublin, James Faivre, Tom Gannon.

Start saving now from as little as R250 per month. In most instances you can claim back your contribution from SARS and receive a refund from them. Why not let the government help you fund your retirement?
Most of us dream about our retirement and how we will have time to do the things that we do not have time for during our working lives. However, most people will not realise their dreams, simply because they will not be able to afford to do so. In South Africa, less then 6% of people are able to retire financial independent. The adage of “Failing to plan is planning to fail” is most applicable to this area of financial planning.
The success of a retirement plan is largely dependent on how early in your life you start doing something about it. Terence Tobin (of My Money) is offering a free analysis that will assist you in determining a suitable retirement age and setting realistic income objectives. It aims at ensuring that you are able to maintain that standard of living throughout your retirement. This advice process concludes with the recommendation of options (both traditional and non-traditional) as an integral part of your retirement stategy.
