Hartford International Film Fest

Thursday, November 4 - Sunday, November 7: Hartford International Film Fest @ Various Venues, Hartford

While this weekend's Hartford International Film Fest doesn't look to be the Scenic party vehicle that last month's Silk City fest was, we are still excited about this indie event in Hartford and looking forward to checking out some of the films. We're into chicks, man, so the most appealing in the lineup for us are a pair of documentaries about women.

Behind the Burly Q is a documentary about burlesque, and we're totally into CT burlesque, so this exploration of the history of the art of the tease sounds enticing. Behind the Burly Q is playing Saturday, 10:30 p.m. at Art Cinema. Whoah! Isn't that a porn theater? Whatever, we're hip to that and nothing phases us. Congratulations on the awesome venue choice, Capital Cinema Collective. We may want to put down some plastic before we take a seat though.

Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo seems interesting too. Convicts and horsies - a few of our favorite things. Oklahoma prison sounds like a good time. And we are suckers for those women's prison movies. This one is playing Saturday afternoon, 1 p.m. at the Mark Twain House.
