I saw the words: ectopic pregnancy. It is like giving birth to nothing with all the pain and process of birth. A mock of life in reverse.

Cinema Alshaibi at Fat Rabbit

Husband and wife collaborators Usama and Kristie Alshaibi are presenting some rarely seen short videos created between 1998 and 2010. This will include early 16mm films by both directors as well as a number of collaborations shot on a wide array of mediums.

In addition, we will premiere a trailer of Usama’s new feature length movie, “Profane.”

The Alshaibis will be selling copies of their limited edition book A History of Flying Vaginas and their DVD of short artfully perverse films titled “Solar Anus Cinema.”

The event is FREE. But please help the Alshaibis in any way you can by buying merchandise or contributing to http://profanemovie.com to help raise finishing funds for the new feature. BYOB.
