A total of 111 films will screen over the next few days (October 1 - 3) in Coney Island, NY at the 4th Coney Island Film Festival. The event kicks off at 7 p.m. tomorrow (Friday) at Sideshows By The Seashore with two film screenings, followed by a party at The Coney Island Museum featuring sideshow and burlesque performers. Organizers are again planning a low-key fest vibe, according to a recent announcement:
In keeping with the spirit of Coney Island, the Festival organizers eschew high-art snootiness in favor of a more egalitarian approach to film (the consumption of beer and hot dogs is encouraged).

[Certainly not to be missed is a screening of "Terrain Vague" by indieWIRE's own James Israel and his brother Jeff Israel. The short is screening on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m..]
