D.l. Polonsky’s Nonviolent Anarchy Film Festival June 25, 2009

Local filmmaker and artist D.L. Polonsky announces the preliminary
lineup for a showcase of his work taking place at The Coolidge Corner
Theatre June 25th, 2009. Now living in the Brookline/Allston area,
D.L.'s innovative work dates back to when he was a young boy, crafting
strange and provacative films with his brother. The event will exhibit
a selection of modern work, as well as older, rare gems. The show will
be hosted by Polonsky and Mike Phelan O'Toole, a friend and actor of
Polonsky's, noted for his previous involvement in the Coolidge's
"Experimentally ILL" showcase. Press coverage, including interviews is
being sought. Films are available for review upon request,
