CUCALORUS KICKOFF PARTY
Creepy-crawly insects will take over our city on November 11th! Cucalorus Film Festival returns with a theme so gnatty, itll have us all thinking twice about our fellow cockroaches and preying mantises! All of the film blocks of the 16th annual festival will be named after bugs, including Nutweevil shorts, featuring music videos from around the globe, which will kick off the festivities at Soapbox on the 11th. Also, Bug-a-lorus, an art show inspired by the theme, will shine a light on the prickly, tickly, tingly creatures so many of us love to hate. Our feature artist, Melissa Smith, whose love for all-things buggy and photography, gave her Thriller-dancing preying mantis high scores for encores cover contest.
