This Week’s Absolute Must Look is a series of film stills from Storm de Hirsch’s documentary about Jonas Mekas making his documentary of the performance of The Brig in 1964. So that’s what a filmmaker shooting with a film camera looks like!Aryan Kaganof had an unpleasant experience at a European film festival. Maybe it’s just me, but I think his comment to Bela Tarr is funny.Jason Kupfer has a snazzy new filmmaker website, which I’ve been meaning to link to for awhile, so I guess it’s new-ish.Dominic Deacon’s nunsploitation feature Bad Habits got reviewed on the site Scaryminds and received a 3 out of 5 on the sex and violence scale.The site Bad at Sports interviews filmmaker Jesse McLean.J.J.

Whether you know some folks on your shopping list who like contemplative dramas or violent revenge stories, there’s something for them below in this edition of the Underground Holiday Shopping Guide.
DramasMad World
Actor Cory Cataldo stepped behind the camera to direct his first feature film, a drama / black comedy hybrid that tackled the issue of bullying before the issue hit the mainstream. Now that Mad World is on DVD, the story of four high school outcasts on the shit end of the social climbing ladder seems even more relevant. Horrifying parental abuse, racism, drug use and other issues swirl together in this potent dramatic concoction.
Buy on Amazon!
Beneath Contempt
In a year stuffed with moody, emotional indie dramas, Benjamin Brewer‘s affecting Beneath Contempt has been, for the most part, unfairly overlooked. A young man is released from prison years after he killed his friends in a...

A trio of distinctly different films have been released on DVD:
Maximum Shame, dir. Carlos Atanes
Spain’s underground king of surrealism, Carlos Atanes, presents his densest, loopiest nightmare yet, Maximum Shame, a confounding puzzle of an enigma wrapped in video.
Atanes whisks viewers through a black hole that is swallowing the universe to a fetid cesspool ruled by a deranged, black leather clad queen who torments anyone unlucky enough to fall into her realm.
Maximum Shane is a cross between Alice in Wonderland and an S&M video, featuring a tour de force performance by Marina Gatell as the black queen.
Read the full review of Maximum Shame on Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film.

Bad Habits, dir. Dominic Deacon
A heroin-addicted nun finds a dead man in her bathtub in Dominic Deacon’s heady mix of high sleaze and high art.

Don’t ask how and don’t ask why, but the nunsploitation genre is making a major comeback in the cinema. And we’re all the richer for it.
There are two ways to approach the making of a film about revenge-seeking, death-dealing Catholic nuns. Given the ludicrousness of the entire premise to begin with, one could either treat the subject with real seriousness or go for the strictly goofy send-up route.
Despite the pun-ish title, directors Greg Hanson and Casey Regan successfully opt for the serious route. While there are a few good jokes scattered throughout the film, for the most part Thy Kill Be Done is a straight recreation of the ’70s urban gang exploitation genre.
With a suitably grainy film stock and funky score — both courtesy D.P. and music scorer Seth Applebaum — the film feels both modern and throwback as it begins in a church in an indeterminate year.

The Melbourne Underground Film Festival is ready to pounce again — and this time with a vengeance! This will make it the 11th edition of what’s surely the most well-established, and kick ass, transgressive film festival in the world. The official dates of when Muff will terrorize the world again haven’t been set yet, but the fest is currently open and ready for submissions.
For submission form and details, visit the official Muff website. There’s only one deadline, too:
Final Deadline:
May 15
$45 (Aud)
$35 (Us)
$30 (Euro)
Muff had a fantastic year in 2009, so they’re looking to expand their offerings this year. Devilish plans are already underway securing locations that are friendly to a little nasty subverting of the Australian cinematic norm. But, that doesn’t mean you have to be Australian to submit. This is an international festival looking for deranged flicks from all over the globe.
