This month on The Liberal Dead we’re going to be featuring some films honoring Blaxploitation cinema. While a formal announcement and articles will follow in due time, an event not unrelated to this celebration has reared its exploitable head. eX-Fest (the e is purposely kept lower case) thrown by the good folks at Exhumed Films is in its second annual run and plans to exploit Philadelphia like it’s never been exploited before. eX-Fest features films of several different exploitation sub-genre not limited to but including blaxploitation, hicksploitation and spaghetti westerns. While Exhumed Films is known best for its 24 Hour Horror-thon and double feature presentations throughout the year, in recent years they have shown tremendous ingenuity in the art of marathon film presenation by creating both the Go Ape! film marathon (featuring Planet of the Apes films) and eX-Fest.
Last year’s offerings featured the following exploitation films (they won’t announce the films ahead of time):
Cut-throats Nine
No Way Out
The Face With Two Left Feet
Savage!
Redneck Miller
Five Fingers of Death
[The Other] Cinderella
As with their 24 hour offering, Exhumed Films does not announce their line up ahead of time. Given the line up above and the Exhumed crews’ propensity for attempting to out do themselves you may just sell yourself into sex slavery now in order to keep up your horse addiction while wearing a nun’s habit and calling yourself Super Fly. Maybe you should take up cannibalism now… probably takes some getting used to.
Tickets are limited and may be close to selling out. Even if you can’t get to this year’s event make sure to follow Exhumed Films for double features throughout the year, specialty marathons and, of course, their 24 Hour offering that is mind blowingly chock full of movies you must see on the big screen to believe.
The whole shebang takes place on April 29th and running from 11am to 11pm in glorious Philadelphia, PA . For info and to buy tickets now go HERE: eX-Fest Tickets
