    Bump’n’grind fest is an original art house film platform that addresses performance art, dance, specific genres of pinup girls and burlesque, (the body as icon and artist’s tool). I was delighted too to discover an activist edge to this film platform and a serious programming suit behind the scenes. Q&A’s with film makers addressed themes of liberation in art and film with a great talk back host. Participating in Bump’n’grind offers a rich and varied meaningful experience. Thanks for a great Inaugural festival still dining out on you weeks later!

    ...These were well what is art, film, race, gender, creed and unexpectedly holds a space for an activist Filmaker who uses the body to express
