"Uli doesn't care about anything. He's a Nihilist." - Bunny Lebowski
"Ah, that must be exhausting." - The Dude

NIHILIST FILM FESTIVAL
For the eleventh year, the Nihilist Cultural Foundation presents the Nihilist International Film Festival. The festival includes two hours of short films from around the country and around the world. The films range from troubling to hilarious, from profound to completely silly. Pretty much, something for everyone (except children and clergy). Festival Director Elisha Shapiro commented, “If you are tired of all those ‘namby-pamby’ film festivals with artsy film-school projects, grab your wig and keys. The Nihilist Film Festival dares to go to someplace different. How weird can a film get and still be entertaining?” As a special feature, all those who bring their own televisions and arrive fifteen minutes early will be able to include their appliances in the traditional ritual Blessing of the Televisions.Nihilist Film Festival director Elisha Shapiro is a Los Angeles-based conceptual artist. He is known for presenting the 1984 Nihilist Olympics and the 1999 Nihilism Expo. He was also the Nihilist Party candidate for Governor in 2006, for President in 1988, and for LA county sheriff in 1992.
