DESCRIPTION:Toy Camera Film Fest: Live via YouTube, Sunday 16 Nov. 2025 7 p.m. PST. 
 \n\nOctober 9, 2025 - (Venice Beach, CA) Filmmakers get a fresh chance to 
 enter PXL THIS 35, one of the oddest, oldest, and most experimental film 
 festivals here in California, a movie capital.\n\n“Still NO entry fee,” 
 PXL THIS founder Gerry Fialka said. “Our free, non-competitive, 
 non-commercial film fest returns this fall for its 35th run. Email me , 
 but, please, PXL-2000 films only.”\n\n“Our festival attracts both teens 
 and seminal experimental filmmakers; both pros and the houseless,” Fialka 
 said. “I’d call it the most populist film festival ever. At 35, we host 
 one of the oddest, oldest film festivals here in California, earth’s 
 entertainment epicenter.” \n\nSince 1991, PXL THIS screens an open 
 showcase of short films or video, either shot with, or emulating the low-fi 
 output of, PXL-2000 (120x90 pixels, 15 FPS), originally designed to record 
 on a cheap, standard audio cassette.”\n\nPrior festival participants 
 include independent filmmakers Michael Almereyda, Lee Ranaldo, Chris 
 Metzler, James & Sadie Benning, Joe Gibbons, Cecilia Dougherty, Peggy 
 Ahwesh, Margie Strosser, Jesse Drew, and Ann Randolph.\n\nPixelvision has 
 also made it to the big screen via directors Richard Linklater (Slacker, 
 1990), Peggy Ahwesh & Margie Strosser (Strange Weather, 1993), Craig 
 Baldwin (Sonic Outlaws, 1995), and several feature films by Michael 
 Almereyda including Nadja (1994) with a cameo by David Lynch, and Hamlet 
 (2000) with star Ethan Hawke, as reviewed by Siskel and Ebert, “running 
 around New York City with a PXL2000 toy video camera.”\n
