A lot has happened since Shaina Feinberg’s first feature film, The Babymooners, won the Audience Award at the Lower East Side Film Festival in 2016. Not only is her second feature, Senior Escort Service, slated to kick off this year’s festival on Opening Night, but she’s since made the short film, Shiva, which screened at Tribeca in 2017, and a breakout six-part web series, Dinette, for BRIC TV.
Here's a reminder that this year's version of the Lower East Side Film Festival debuts tonight at Village East Cinemas with “Getting Naked: A Burlesque Story."
This year's lineup offers screenings at the Sunshine Cinema (including a special 25th anniversary midnight screening of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, The Secret of the Ooze), the beloved "Gay Night Pool Pary and Dive-In Movie" at Sixty LES, and a Horror & Suspense Screenwriters Panel at the newly opened Ludlow House.
