A weird little festival for weird little movies in the weirdest little city in South Carolina. Babylon Fest lives at The Babylon Kino, Columbia's new space for underground movies in Columbia's rowdiest bar district. Give us your riskiest movie; we'll give you an audience with more enthusiasm than good sense.

The first annual Babylon Fest is curated and MC'ed by John Valley, the writer-director of THE PIZZAGATE MASSACRE and AMERICAN DOLLHOUSE. Expect plenty of pre-parties, after-parties and opportunities to chat up indie filmmakers.
