Indy Film Festival July 15-25

"Barry Munday", the story of a would-be Lothario whose road to discovering his true manhood begins with the loss of his testicles in a freak movie-house attack, kicks off the seventh annual Indianapolis International Film Festival this Thursday night at 7pm.  Held at the Indianapolis Museum of Art's Toby Theater, this year's film fest features more than 100 independent flicks, including several films made by and about Hoosiers, and shot here in corn country.

Lodge Design and the IMA are presenting sponsors of this year's festival, with  help from Fifth Third Bank, Stella Artois and NUVO.
