If getting sand in your crotch while watching awesome short films sounds like a good time, then you better head on out to the first ever Black Rock City Film Festival, which is taking place right now, Aug. 30 to Sept. 3, at the legendary Burning Man gathering in the Nevada desert. If you’re already at Burning Man, hopefully you get cell reception and can see this lineup so you know where the best place is to be every night.

This event is a joint endeavor for the Boston Underground Film Festival and San Francisco’s IndieFest, who have selected over two dozen short films to screen at their open air theater. There are no start times for when these films will screen, but I would assume it would be sometime after sundown. Plus, there will be cocktail parties before and after the screenings, as well as Opening Night and Closing Night bashes.

There are some really great films in the lineup, including both installments of Brian Lonano‘s killer giant robot series, Attackazoids! and Attackazoids Deploy!!. Also screening will be animator Bill Plympton‘s latest short film, The Cow Who Wanted to Be a Hamburger; the 2010 Boston Underground Film Festival’s Best Short Film winner Happily Ever After by Jamie Heinrich; Underground Film Journal favorite Neil Ira Needleman‘s My First Science Fiction Movie and the winner of the Best Short Film award at the 2007 Chicago Underground Film Festival, Rob Perri’s I’m Keith Hernandez.
