In preparation for the carnival of weirdness known as the Coney Island Film Festival, those of which we often speak are putting together screenings of several shorts about the 5th most visited attraction in New York (still don't buy it), Coney Island. This Saturday at the Coney Island Museum they will be showing five flicks, including two from the 50s, one from the 70s, and one from this decade that might as well be from the 50s. The films in question are Under The Roller Coaster, Whirligig, Coney Island Cyclone, Bally Master, and Coney Island USA. They're barely twenty minutes each, which is just enough time to sit around and wait for your greasy hot dog to come back up. Ah yes, there's no mood depraved enough that a little film, burned beef, and bearded women can't enlighten.

Check out the CIFF's website for times. There's also still time to submit for the actual festival, coming 'round September 26th through the 28th at Sideshows. Fees are $30 by tomorrow (!), and $45 by July 3rd.
