Focusing on a niche in the independent film community which has been traditionally ignored, Zero Film Festival is dedicated to screening self financed and zero budget films from the United States and around the world.

In the age where the majority of festivals are Hollywood marketing campaigns, and even “indie” and “underground” festivals screen financed films, we are here to offer something different. We recognize authentically independent films and filmmakers who take risks and fight the odds to see their visions through.

The Zero Film Festival is the first festival exclusive to self-financed filmmakers, providing a platform to screen their bold and innovative films in Los Angeles and New York City.

In 2009 ZFF added it’s 1st annual West Coast Tour – screening in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Hollywood and Orange County. North American Tour slated for Spring 2010.

THE INVISIBLE DOG WELCOMES IAN TRASK
ARTIST IN RESIDENCY

In October 2009, Ian Trask has been part of the Recession Art Show, No Money No Problem (October 3rd-10th).
Invited by Lucien Zayan, Ian starts a residence within The Invisible Dog.

During  The Ant exhibition.  Ian Trask, artist in residency at The Invisible Dog, present his transformative cardboard installation The Worm which is a new species of detritivore with a voracious appetite and a talent for consuming uban waste.

Ian Trask is a sculptor who explores the inherent aesthetics of material waste. He collects discarded, manufactured goods, sparing them from disposal or recycling programs, in order to invent and impose his own process of decomposition. As a decomposer, he breaks down society’s refuse into smaller composite parts and rearranges them into newer, larger and more interesting forms. By finding creative sustenance in urban detritus, he believes that he imbues undervalued material with an uncommon value, thereby presenting the processes of disposal and decomposition as fascinating rather than revolting.

This November 9th to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall,  The Invisible Dog is proud to present the USA premier of

THE SCAR BERLIN
A Film by Burkhard von Harder

MONDAY NOVEMBER 9th – 7pm

Screening in parallel at the German Historical Museum in Berlin and the State Theatre in Stuttgart.

The event epitomized the collapse of the Iron Curtain and provided the final impulse for the end of communist rule by the Soviet Union. Almost forgotten by some, it is one of the events that has most shaped our contemporary history and identity.

The Scar Berlin is a film dealing with the former division of the city of Berlin into East Berlin, the capital of the GDR, and West-Berlin, a symbol for Western freedom of thought and movement. The Wall was carved into the landscape in 1961 and fell in a peaceful revolution in 1989. 20 years after the eradication of the German divide, The Scar features the total length of the approximately 160 km-long former Death-Strip isolating West-Berlin within the East German State: this heavily guarded zone that reinforced the “antifascist protection bulwark” was between 70 and 500 meters wide.
