The Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce is currently planning a celebration for the 25th anniversary of The Goonies on June 4-7, 2010. The Goonies was filmed around and took place in Astoria, Oregon and still, almost 25 years later, brings fans of the film to the town to explore the sites. To kickoff the planning for the event, the Chamber is holding an art contest to find the art that will be used to promote the event with posters, advertisements, etc.

This celebration promises to be a great follow up to our 20th anniversary event in 2005 which included cast appearances by Jeff “Chunk” Cohen, Sean “Mikey” Astin and Curt “Mr. Perkins” Hanson, bus tours, movie showings and so much more. More details about the event will be announced this fall, along with the winners of this contest.

“We’ve been contacted by numerous fans wanting to send us their art to use for the event since announcing our plans to host the 25th anniversary event, so this call for art seemed a natural addition to the event. We look forward to seeing the artistic talents of the fans from near and far and anticipate a tough decision in awarding the prizes this fall. We will display many of the entries next year during the event for everyone to enjoy.”

Art entries will be accepted through Wednesday, September 9, 2009. The entries will be judged by a volunteer committee with a background in art or marketing, and of course, a love for The Goonies. Prizes will be awarded to the top three selections – 1st: $500, 2nd: $250, 3rd: $150, with the first place art being used as the official event poster, but each of the top 3 designs may be used in marketing efforts for the event. Art may be used in color or black & white applications, in print, on the internet or on T-shirts and other merchandise. Any entry submitted to the contest may be used by the Chamber as a part of the Goonies 25th Anniversary.

SIFF 2010 Midnight Adrenaline Film Lineup

Midnight Adrenaline
In case of damage or leakage, immediately notify cinematic health authorities.

Seattle, WA – Midnight Adrenaline returns to SIFF this year with an overdose of highly addictive, unpredictable, and suspense-inducing features for the cult film junkie. Better than ever, SIFF showcases an onslaught of classic genre film and other underground fixations including a zombie apocalypse, slasher backwoods hillbillies, medieval fantasy games, and unusually enhanced geishas.

This year SIFF brings cult-classic grindhouse film to a whole new level with Israel Lunaʼs controversial transploitation film, Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives. Zombie mayhem ensues with a live ZomBcon event at Boom Noodle before the screening of George A. Romeroʼs Survival of the Dead, the sixth zombie film by the godfather of undead cinema. From Hong Kong, director Pang Ho-Cheung unleashes a gory tale of lifestyle fetishization and a desperate, bloody path towards obtaining oneʼs own Dream Home. In the kitschy RoboGeisha, Japan presents a twisted take on sibling rivalry as two cybernetic-enhanced geishas combat to win the local steel baronʼs heart.

2010 Midnight Adrenaline
Amer, directed by Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani (Belgium, 2009) A dreamy pastiche tour-de-force of 1970s Italian giallo horror movies that plays out a delirious, enigmatic death-dance of fear and desire. The filmʼs three parts, each in a different style, correspond to the childhood, adolescence, and adulthood of its female protagonist—and thatʼs all you need to know.

Centurion, directed by Neil Marshall (United Kingdom, 2010) When their legion is ambushed in Northern Britain, a small platoon of surviving Roman soldiers must evade a revenge-hungry band of barbarian warriors through harsh terrain in an attempt to rescue their general and return to the safety of the Roman frontier.

Dream Home, directed by Pang Ho-Cheung (Hong Kong, 2010) You have no idea how terrifying the housing crisis can get—upwardly-mobile Cheng Lai-Sheung will do anything to move into a new apartment with a magnificent sea view, even if it means going around her mortgage broker and taking matters into her own gory hands. Warning: features disturbingly imaginative violence and lifestyle fetishization.

George A. Romeroʼs Survival of the Dead, directed by George A. Romero (Canada, 2009) The godfather of undead cinema returns with his sixth zombie film as two rival families feud on a remote island—one wants to destroy any and all walking dead, while the other holds back in hopes of finding a cure to return their undead relatives to life.

RoboGeisha, directed by Noboru Iguchi (Japan, 2009) Poor Yoshie lives in the shadow of older sister Kikue, a fast rising star at the local geisha house. But when the local steel baron abducts the pair, transforming them into cybernetic-enhanced geisha assassins, the sisters gleefully elevate their sibling rivalry into a technological arms race to win his heart.

Splice, directed by Natali Vincenzo (Canada, 2009) In this 21st century creature feature, two young scientists willfully ignore society's ethical boundaries, and achieve fame by splicing the DNA of different animals into the human genome to create a new species. However, their creation rapidly develops into a beautiful, yet deadly, winged chimera.

Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives, directed by Israel Luna (USA, 2010) After being violently beaten and left for dead, a group of violated vixens turn into deadly divas and, with newfound confidence and courage, slash their way to vengeance in this controversial slice of grindhouse transploitation.

Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil, directed by Eli Craig (USA, 2010) Hillbillies Tucker and Dale have found their perfect “fixer-upper” cabin, but remodeling is never easy, particularly when a group of college co-eds on spring break start killing themselves all over your property.

The Wild Hunt, directed by Alexandre Franchi (Canada, 2009) When Erikʼs girlfriend leaves him to attend a weekend medieval re-enactment game, he follows in hopes of winning her back. But as Erik, with the help of his Viking chieftain brother Bjorn, treads deeper into the game in search of his love, he inadvertently disrupts the fantasylandʼs delicate balance of make-believe.
