***THE BACKYARD -  Paul Hough, Director (partial screening) (Not Rated; no one under
17 admitted without parent)

Lightbulbs, fire, barbed wire, mousetraps, staple guns, thumbtacks amd glass are
weapons of choice in "The Backyard." This undercover documentary takes you deep into
the controversial arena of backyard wrestling, where the limits are constantly being
tested… and broken.

*** WRESTLEMANIAC - Matthew James Sheridan, Director (shown in its entirety)

This "mockumentary" follows brothers Chris and Matt Cassidy, "indie" pro wrestlers,
through the chump-change, netherworld wrestling circuits of New York City.
