Rev up your ENGINES for the BLACK ROCK FILM FEST at BURNING MAN

There's a fantastic project in the works. The BOSTON UNDERGROUND FILM FEST is sponsoring the ENGINE THEATRE, a revolutionary new projection device. This new device will be used and shown at the 2011 BLACK ROCK FILM FEST this AUGUST.  Black Rock City is, of course, the site of the infamous BURNING MAN, to which this will coincide.




The ENGINE THEATRE is an impressive and innovative projection device. It's a 1000 lb steel sculpture with lights. It has a seventeen-foot screen for projection. It's a work of art in and of itself, so they can't get it for free.

Here's a link to their Kickstarter page to help fund this fantastic project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/annafeder/help-fund-the-engine-theater-for-the-black-rock-fi

On the page, there's a great pitch video from the cinematic geniuses at WHORE CHURCH
