Tired of typical formula Hollywood garbage insulting your intelligence at the multiplexes? Relax, bunky...relief is at hand. Wormwood Chronicles webzine (www.wormwoodchronicles.com) is proud to present the third edition of the Weird World of Wormwood Film Festival. Ten weeks of the world's most unusual movies for the discerning cinema-goer! The best part is...the movies are absolutely FREE!

The Festival will kick off on Sunday March 12 and continue on every Sunday night with the exception of April 9 until May 21st.

The venue will be Rockford's oldest and funkiest bar, MARY'S PLACE, located in the heart of the River District at 602 N. Madison Street. Mary's has got a great giant screen TV with awesome sound as well as a cool atmosphere and the cheapest beer around. Combined with the weirdest movies ever made and no admission, how can you beat it?

There will be a cartoon or short subject before each movie as well as a brief introduction. Each presentation will start at 7:00 P.M. sharp!
