The Swedenborg International Short Film Festival has been a yearly celebration of the weird, the esoteric, and the downright bizarre: this year’s entries were no exception. Best For Film was invited down to the beautiful, grade II listed Swedenborg House to partake in some of the best short films in the world. Here is a recap of the fantastic featured films!

To finish out Walken Week at Best For Film Towers, we’re dedicating an entire drinking game to the man, the myth, the legend that is CHRISTOPHER WALKEN. Whether he’s playing the good, the bad or the ugly, whether he’s psychotic or only slightly less psychotic than normal, there’s a drink to be had in every Christopher Walken movie. Join us for one last walk with Walken, as our gait becomes increasingly staggered and alarming. To Christopher!

One could make a cogent argument that this film is a secret military project to liquify the brains of the populace.
