Pardon Us For Living But The Graveyard Is Full (NYC Premiere)
Dir. Geoffray Barbier, U.S.A., 59 min.
When a gang of suburban teens stumbled across a bunch of abandoned instruments and formed The Fleshtones little did they know that 30 years later they would still be rocking- and struggling to pay the bills.

Kid Creole And My Coconuts (World Premiere)
Dir. Adriana Kaegi, U.S.A., 50 min.
A delightful, danceable and unflinchingly honest memoir chronicling Adriana Kaegi's adventures as Mama Coconut - co-founder of the 1980s tropical funk machine, Kid Creole and the Coconuts. From jamming in scrappy downtown dives to performing for American Presidents and Lady Diana, Kid Creole and the Coconuts were trailblazers.
