VERY FUNNY THINGS. NEW AMERICAN COMEDY is the title of the thematic retrospective to be dedicated by this year's San Sebastian Festival to new trends in American comedy movies. Comedy, a genre that already had an extremely long-standing Hollywood tradition, has seen a revival in recent decades thanks to a contemporary angle with place for irreverence, non-political correctness and social satire. A new generation of directors, screenwriters, actors and comedians have become today's...

LITTLE BLUE PILL (USA, 2011) is a new fresh comedy by director Aaron Godfried. In the style of a Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, 2007) and Paul Weitz (American Pie, 1999) and even more closely, Todd Phillips (The Hangover, 2009), this film depicts the essence that is the American sense of humor.

The KahBang Film Festival is one portion of the
KahBang Music-Art-Film Festival, happening this August 5th - 13th 2011,
in downtown Bangor, Maine. KahBang is not just another festival. It is a
brand. A brand built around discovering "the next big thing" in the
arts and entertainment worlds.
The KahBang Film Festival is 9 days of films that we think are cool.
Some are cool for different reasons, others are cool for the same
reasons, while still others are both at the same time. If it makes us
laugh, if it makes us think, if someone blackmailed us to screen it, we
share it with you. If you don't like it, we'll give you a refund (please
note: The KahBang Festival does not offer refunds).
At the end of the day, we love films, we love filmmakers with vision,
and we love Milk Duds. Our festival pays tribute to the iconic artists,
the emerging auteur and even the epic fail. We hope you will join us
this August and discover "cool" the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
