host local, national, international
documentaries, animations, films

C’ontr/huting It liter
For those students who grow weary at the thought of yet another
summer jam-packed with big budget Hollywood moneymaking
machines known as blockbusters, there is an alternative.
The fifth annual deadCENTER Film Festival w ill be held June 9-12
in downtown OKC. The Festival will showcase local, national and
international films that would not ordinarily be seen by the general
movie-going public.
There will be 86 films shown over four days consisting of narrative
and documentary features, narrative and documentary short films,
animation, and films from both college and high school students.
These films will be shown at fuf uifferent locations: Fhe Oklahoma
City Museum of Art, The StageCenter, TheUntitled Art Gallery and
The Individual Artists of Oklahoma Gallery.
In addition to the films, the festival will host five panel discus-
sion groups in which aspiring filmmakers or film enthusiasts can
ask questions about the film industry from local and visiting film
professionals.
The deadCENTER Film Festival, whose name refers to the geo-
graphical location of OKC within the United States, was created by
Justin and Jayson Floyd in 2001 and according to deadCENTER s
Web site. (www.deadcenterhlm.org.), "The ongoing mission of the
Festival is to bring quality independent films to OKC."
The Festival is also, ".. .designed to inspire growth in the local
film industry and energize visiting film professionals," the Web
site reported.
Last year the festival screened over 90 films submitted from every
state in the United States and international films from England.
Scotland. Ireland, Spain. Mexico. Canada, Germany and Japan.
This year's Festival director Cacky Poarch promises to make this
year's festival even better. "We have some plans to attract nationally
known talent as well as staying tme to our Oklahoma filmmakers. We
push ourselves every year; 2005 will see some great developments,"
Poarch was quoted as having said on the deadCENTER Web site.
The 2005 Festival w ill see the addition of two events that are more-
family oriented: The Apple Pie Cinema and Kids Fest.
The Festival was recently named as one of the top regional festi-
vals in the country, according to independent film enthusiast Chris
Gore in his new book "The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide.”
In the book, Gore wrote, "Bar none, this is the best film festival in
