ROYAL FLUSH MAGAZINE

The Royal Flush Festival - a NYC-based celebration of underground film, art and music - has announced the first round of their upcoming premieres and special guests. The annual festival (previously known as the Evil City Film Fest) will be screening films at The Anthology Film Archives, October 15th-October 18th. These are the first films and events to be confirmed for the 2009 line-up; many more will be added leading up to the festival. For frequent updates, check the Royal Flush Festival website.
Among the films to be featured at the upcoming Royal Flush Festival:

ABRAHAM OBAMA
Directed by Kevin Chapados

When Ron English illegally pasted the Boston streets with his iconic image of Barack Obama as Abraham Lincoln, the underground artist suddenly found himself in the national spotlight. Without missing a beat, English gathered a crew of artists and musicians and took off across America, plastering the posters wherever they could find an open wall. The result is Abraham Obama, an unforgettable trip through America’s underground. Featuring appearances by Shepard Fairey, Morgan Spurlock, Al Sharpton, and Daniel Johnston.
Artist Ron English and Director Kevin Chapados will be in attendance for the screening.

AMERICAN ARTIFACT: THE RISE OF AMERICAN ROCK POSTER ART
Directed by Merle Becker

As long as there has been rock music, there has been the rock poster -- the bold, colorful, and sometimes psychedelic works of art that have immortalized shows and acts which otherwise might have been forgotten. But far from being a thing of the past, award-winning director Merle Becker discovers the 21st century “rock poster art movement” is bigger than ever, as he crosses the U.S.A. interviewing some of the biggest names in the genre. Features Stanley Mouse, Victor Moscoso, Frank Kozik, Art Chantry, EMEK, Tara McPherson, Derek Hess, COOP and Jay Ryan, as well as fans, musicians and some seriously avid collectors.
Artist Tara McPherson and Director Merle Becker will be in attendance for the screening.
