The
2006 Liberty Film Festival is just 2 weeks away. If you love the movies, as I do, then you should definitely know about this festival.
Jason Apuzzo and Govindini Murty are the dynamic duo behind this amazing weekend of conservative and libertarian film. They started this with little more than a passion for film and love for what Hollywood was and could be again. It takes place smack dab in the middle of West Hollywood, and as they said about festivals of the past few years, "there's nothing the Liberals can do about it."
I urge you to come for all 3 days, if you can, or perhaps just for an afternoon of feature length and short films. These are the films that Hollywood does not want you see, which is why these will never appear at Sundance or Tribeca. For example, on Sunday, November 12th there is the premiere of Pierre Rehov's
From the River to the Sea.
"From the River to the Sea is an eye-opening documentary about
how the UN and Arab nations surrounding Israel have conspired to keep
Palestinians in refugee camps without jobs, citizenship, or
opportunity, thereby encouraging them to turn to terrorism against
Israel. The film features shocking footage of Palestinian terrorists
escaping in UN vans, and explores the controversial issue of “right of
return.” It also documents the shocking corruption of UNRWA and the PLO
in robbing hundreds of millions from Palestinian refugees, and reveals
the anti-Israeli, anti-Jewish propaganda that is taught to
schoolchildren in UN-funded schools in Palestinian camps. It’s a
must-see for all who wish to understand the current conflict in the
Middle East, and features extraordinary first-hand footage shot by
Rehov in Israel, Palestinian areas, and the refugee camps."
I attended the first festival, which inspired me to try my hand at screenwriting. Last year I had the honor to volunteer. It is a great time for conservatives and libertarians who are fed up with the Liberal propaganda Hollywood continues to produce. If you can make the time, I strongly encourage you come on out to West Hollywood and spend a weekend with at the Liberty Film Festival.
