_ Sean Weathers films are exploitation films. You can tell by the titles; Hookers in Revolt and They All Must Die!. Find me a Merchant/Ivory film with a title like Hookers in Revolt. These two titles, and the more ambiguously titled, The Unfinished Works of Sean Weathers, come out November 22 on MVD Entertainment.

Hookers in Revolt’s plot is pretty simple;hookers revolt against their pimps. Apparently inspired by Orwells Animal Farm this film uses pimps and hos in Brooklyn over the barnyard. They All Must Die was apparently investigated because authorities thought it was a snuff film. The press says it was “banned” but I don’t know where and how. Outrageous, depraved and disgusting are adjectives used. When I hear those these days I think “Faces of Death” (which was fake by the way). BUT good exploitation is all about the marketing, the shock. That is all part of what makes the “genre.”

The last title is a collection of three titled Weathers was unable to complete.

The Chicago Food Film Fest is coming up shortly. It runs from November 18 through 20th at Kendall College and Intelligentsia Roasting Works. This is the festival where you can, literally, taste what is on the screen.

The festival is produced in association with the James Beard Foundation and benefits The Good Food Project.

You can get tickets, see a full schedule (too big for me to run here) and--also important—find out the FOOD they will have at each event by visiting www.thefoodfilmfestival.com.
