Conservative Liberty Film Festival comes to mostly liberal West Hollywood

The Associated Press
October 03, 2004
Liberal West Hollywood is a city of firsts: First in the nation to provide health insurance to gay and lesbian partners of city employees. First to publicly support a woman's right to an abortion.

The city was even the first to criminalize the declawing of cats.

But West Hollywood can now add another first to those liberal accomplishments: site of the state's first conservative film festival, according to organizers of the Liberty Film Festival.

"There is a hunger for and a marketplace for people with conservative opinions," said Jason Apuzzo, a director who helped organize the three-day event.

Apuzzo's film "Terminal Island" was shown Saturday. In one scene, a young man pleads for his life as he is about to be strangled by a hooded terrorist.

"I'm a liberal, I'm your friend, I'm here to help you," the victim tells his attacker. "You'll never make it in this town without me."

One film profiled conservative pundit Ann Coulter. Another showed pro-peace advocates using less than peaceful language during a demonstration.

And there were several documentaries about Iraq, including one that took Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" to task.

In fact, the liberal Moore received a good bit of attention at the conservative film festival, the mere mentioning of his name provoking rounds of boos.

Cheers erupted at the mention of President Bush's name.

Liberal bashing aside, several people at the festival said they just wanted the chance to see films that they believe address the values of real Americans and the lives they lead.

"I'm personally exhausted by all the remakes, the sequels and the comic book movies while the war on terror - the pre-eminent event of our times - is undiscussed," said Apuzzo. "I think it's not healthy."
