Film festivals. It seems like every genre has one, doesn't it? Kinky porn, horror, romance, cult, musicals....but nothing for WAM?

Well, we're changing that.

Welcome to Messtival: The world's first sploshing film festival & awards ceremony, from 16-17th March 2019 in London, UK sponsored by UMD
On Sunday 17th March 2019, we're taking over an independent cinema in London from 12pm - 4pm for a huge screening of messy movies!
That's right - I've booked a gorgeous independent cinema situated in the heart of London, just for us to watch our own films on, because I'm extra as fuck. As well as this, we'll be organising a special edition of Pies and Pints so we can all hang out, socialise & network!

Oh, and one final thing....

AWARDS!!!!

The MESSTIVAL AWARDS will be held during the intermission with the nominations and winners voted for by you. There'll be some great prizes for award winners up for grabs too!


Our plan so far:
Saturday 16/03/19
Evening: A special edition of Pies and Pints! We'll find a bigger Spoons for this one compared to the normal one!

Sunday 17/03/19: 12pm - doors open at the cinema ready for screening!
12:30pm 15:30pm screenings & MESSTIVAL AWARDS CEREMONY!


I'll be collecting donations via crowdfunding as well as an opportunity for attendees to donate & a merch store! As well as the running costs of the festival, money raised will help fund travel and accommodation for producers and models who may not be able to come otherwise. We also have a limited number of free tickets available for those on a low income. Please get in touch with me directly if you think that this would be beneficial for you so that you can attend!


FAQ

How do I submit a film? Do I need to come along?
- You don't have to attend to submit a film we welcome submissions worldwide!
- Please keep all videos under 15min so that we can fit in as many as possible into the screenings; if it's over this length but you're desperate to show it, make an edit of the best bits.
- Size doesn't matter (wink) - the higher quality, the better.
- Submit your videos by 03/03/19 - anything sent after this date won't be considered for showing. We'll try and let everyone know if they were successful or not within a week of this date.
- Please use FilmFreeway.com/Messtival to submit your films - submissions are now open!
Make sure you include the following information:
Title:
Synopsis:
Submitter name:
Email:
Country of origin:
Length:
Model(s):

How do I nominate someone/vote?
Nominations will be opened next week in a separate thread.

Will I get messy?
Unfortunately, we don't have any in-person mess planned, just lots and lots of messy movies - it was pretty tricky trying to find a cinema that would also allow mess!

Will there be filming/photography?
We will have a photographer attending the event to document it; they won't take any photos of you if you don't want to be in any. We'll film the awards ceremony, but this will just be the stage & award winners.

Is there a dress code?
We encourage you to dress up - there's no way I'm hosting an awards ceremony without a gown, obviously but if you don't have a tuxedo or tophat to hand to go full-on black tie, then please just dress smartly.

This is cool! How can I help?
I hope to recoup most running costs from ticket sales, but if you'd like to help out by donating, we have a pool over at www.paypal.com/pools/c/8bPprKufAN/
I also opened a merchandise store for people who wanna donate and get a cool t-shirt out of it! www.redbubble.com/people/messtival/shop we're also accepting any submissions for designs to be sold for a limited run.

I think this is a great idea!
But may I make a suggestion?: How about awards for the best WAM scenes in "Mainstream" movies? You can have them for wetlook, mud, pies, and so forth. They could just be for films from 2018, or we could have an "Alltime best " mainstream WAM scenes.
Who knows? Maybe we can invite Ann Margaret to show up at this event!

Finally!!!!! This may be my opportunity for someone to appreciate the artistic genius that is Splatterpuss and I's "Taken Into Custardy"!!! Im attempting to submit my Masterpiece that underwhelmed audiences across the Umd, but Messtival isnt showing up on the options on that Film Freeway site. Help please!

And I just got my "I got pied by Penny Banks" t-shirt!! Yaaaassss!!!!

I thought it was cool. One of the only black and white pieces I've ever seen.

Did you manage to get it uploaded Maria? I'm looking forward to seeing it!

YAY I'm so excited to see selfies of everyone wearing shirts!! I'm gonna spend so much of my next paycheque on stickers of my own face to vandalise London with muahaha

Ha! I got 2 stickers too!! I want one in my car as a shocking shout out to the wammers I KNOW must be hiding in the New Orleans area!! Lmao

I can't imagine a wammer in NOLA that doesn't know of or at least hasn't seen you somewhere covered in pie, dancing on bars.

P.S. I miss you.

P.P.S. Penny, that sounds awesome!

I got it uploaded! To others that may have trouble... the site didn't let me search Messtival as an entry option, I had to upload via Penny's link. It feels so great to feel somewhat involved again after all this pregnancy time out

... and my shirt shipped! I'll be sure to post a pic Penny!

Boom bitches!

YASSSS Maria it looks so gooooood!!!!


That's right - as it allows adult submissions it won't show up by searching so make sure to use the link!

As some people have asked, just to clarify:
You retain ALL rights to your footage. We screen it, and delete it after the show. Nobody will be able to view or download your video and FilmFreeway also adds tracking pixels to the footage so that it cannot be uploaded anywhere without being tracked back to us so you can be certain it will only be shown live on screen.
Additionally, we will not be allowing the use of cameras or mobiles during the screenings and the audience will be monitored to ensure nobody is attempting to record.

Your video can be something old, something recently released or something that is yet to come out - or something that you don't plan on ever releasing but still want to screen

Early bird tickets are sold out!!

I think I submitted not quite sure if i did it right time will tell

I have just submitted a special 15 minute highlights edit of The Messy Telethon with Axa Jay and Messy Louise 79.

I have to say I am quite excited that it will get an airing on the big screen, in an independent cinema.

This whole event such a terrific idea and my hat is off to all those involved in setting it up.

I can't wait to hear the full line up of movies.

Surely if the Early Bird tickets have sold out there are more than 26 of us going? That's how many have done an rsvp on the event page come on guys there must be more of you, tell us if you're coming.

Good point Bosunbob - everyone sign in here:

It's going to be awesome!

We will be announcing your award presenters in the coming days

We have also extended the deadline for film submissions to THIS FRIDAY 8TH MARCH as a fair few of you asked for a little bit longer!

Apparently you have not seen "PIEcho", (aka Wamorama 55) It's not entirely black & white, but the intro is, kind of like the wizard of Oz.

FYI, I just submitted it to this event. You just need to jet over to the UK to see it.

Just finally booked my acomodation for this, am heading down with Susie (who came to MoominSplosh last year) and Rosemary, really looking forward to it!

We also submitted an unreleased video, featuring the lovely Honeysuckle and equally lovely Maude, the former destroying the latter with lots and lots of pies to the face. Looking forward to seeing that on the big screen!

Hi,

So I think I managed to get a video uploaded

As its the first video I have made I would love to get some feedback on how it is recieved (if picked to be shown of course).

Sadly I wont be able to attend but hope it goes well and everyone has a great time.

Hi guys! All films have now been decided upon - check your emails for a message to find out if you were successful! Unfortunately we had SO MANY submissions we could only say yes to half of them, so please don't be dissuaded if you were unlucky this time!

I have also opened VOTING for several awards on the Messtival group! I would do them all but it's 2:30am here and I've been sat at my laptop for the last 6 hours or so faffing with details and sorting through all the nominations so you can wait til tomorrow for the rest

Hi lovelies!

Just a reminder that voting closes TOMORROW so if you haven't already picked your winners then please do so asap!

Additionally, tickets are ALMOST SOLD OUT, we have less than 5 remaining now

There is information about the schedule and running order in this Messtival Group too

After that thing we did last year, I can appreciate how much effort goes into organising something like this.

And, what a great idea this is, absolutely fucking fantastic work Penny.

Thank you so much Leon! The support from the community has been amazing and there's no way I could have managed this without help from everyone here

I'm also over the moon to announce that tickets are now sold out! I really did not expect that to happen and I'm gobsmacked!

Penny and the Team,

Many thanks for a great time! See you next year. Congratulations to all the winners. See you in 2020
