The Coney Island Film Festival is back for its tenth year of extremely low-budget indie flicks, shown at Sideshows by the Seashore and the Coney Island Museum. As always, there’s a spate of shorts and features with great titles, including SATAN HATES YOU, LOVE COMES OUT OF THE BUTT, THE COW WHO WANTED TO BE A HAMBURGER, HELL ON WHEELS: GANG GIRLS FOREVER, DEMIURGE EMESIS, and THY KILL BE DONE. The annual screening of THE WARRIORS takes place Saturday night at 10:00, while on Sunday at 5:00 honoree Darren Aronofsky will be on hand to accept his award, followed by a screening of his 2000 film, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, a harrowing look at addiction set in Coney Island, starring Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, and Jennifer Connelly.
