On May 1 at the Lower East Side Film Festival, check out the exciting Troma documentary Occupy Cannes!

In this feature documentary Lloyd Kaufman, creator of The Toxic Avenger, leads the Troma Team’s battles for independent art at the Cannes Film Festival, as the industry increasingly marginalizes independent voices. Occupy Cannes dives into the underbelly of this glamorous event, revealing a vibrant subculture exploring the intersection of artistic expression, grassroots activism, and the mainstream film industry.

Lloyd and his daughter, director Lily Hayes Kaufman, will be at the event for a Q&A session afterwards.

Join Lloyd, Lily, and other Troma-tic stars and fans at the screening of Occupy Cannes at the Lower East Side Film Festival on May 1 at 6:30pm.
