• SAVE THE DATE for the Haymaker Film Festival at The Beehive, 666 S. State St., SLC. Event by Salt Lake Action Cinema Society: "Haymaker Film Festival is a two-day celebration of contemporary action cinema, filmmakers, and stunt performers. Our mission is to spotlight the art of action and evangelize its value as both art and entertainment. We believe action cinema is another avenue for creative and cultural expression. Well-established tropes are regularly subverted and reimagined by unique voices and their personal journeys and heritage. From kimchi Westerns to the DIY Ugandan films found in Wakaliwood, it is clear that action cinema transcends both language and borders. Reduced to its most basic form, action is conflict in motion -- and there is no story without conflict." Deadline is June 1. For details, click here.
