WORST IN SHOW

2011, 60 min., dir. John Beck & Don R. Lewis, USA

 

Award winning filmmakers John Beck and Don R. Lewis take viewers inside the world of the ugly dog circuit, chronicling the contenders for the 2010 'World's Ugliest Dog' title. The contest takes place each summer in Petaluma, CA .  Can 2009 winner, a rescue dog named Pabst (pictured) defend his title, or will Icky, a rescued Peruvian hairless who looks like a punk-rocker, down to his studded collar, reclaim the mantle?  While the contest itself focuses on the dogs, 'Worst in Show' takes viewers behind the scenes and into the lives of those  obsessed with their dogs and the quest to become crowned 'World's Ugliest Dog.'

POUND DOGS

2011, 11 min., dir. Mike Silva USA

Launched in January 2011, DecaturDocs is a screening and discussion series centered around the engaging world on non-fiction and documentary films.  

 

The monthly subscription-based screening series promises to engage, educate and entertain Decatur’s diverse community, while attracting thoughtful audiences from throughout the region to downtown Decatur. 

 

A celebration of the vitality of non-fiction film, DecaturDocs provides a platform for audiences to engage in provocative dialog about meaningful ideas in a creative and interactive film festival atmosphere. 

 

DecaturDocs is a social happening, a quintessential gathering of the minds, and a “don’t miss” cultural experience.

Accompanied by a filmmaker, featured subject, or thought leader, every screening will followed by an interactive, informative, educational, topical discussion.
