Rats is a Four-Letter Word

Yost Theater

By STACY DAVIES

Published on April 26, 2009 at 2:43am

It’s time once again for the annual Rat Powered Films experimental-short-film festival, filled with narratives, docs, animations—and sometimes found Super 8 footage. Made by the likes of you and me and compiled for our enjoyment by Amy Caterina and Bob Pece, this year’s selections include a film about dirty “C” words, Electric Company -style; an interrogation by a morality-obsessed high-school counselor; an Orwellian video store; and a demented, ’80s-inspired kids’ TV show that’s supposed to leave you dead. Um, weren’t they all?
