The Independent Film Channel and some other sponsors began co-presenting a free film fest last night on a 40′ x 20′ inflatable air screen in Union Sq. Outdoor flicks continue to run tonight & tomorrow, the eve of the 16th. Local indie filmmakers are invited to submit works to the MediaLab, and anyone can enter for a chance to win an HD video camera. IFC are also taking donations of kids suitable DVDs for use in the pediatric ward at SF General. Those curious, or just walking by, can check out the films beginning at dusk, following a variety of pre-show hub bub, including musical entertainment.

Rumor has it that tonight’s feature is family friendly SF fave The Princess Bride and tomorrow Napoleon Dynamite…
