Visual Delicacies at Caveat

Visual Delicacies: An Anthology of Short Films is a screening hosted and created by comedian, filmmaker, and artist Lorelei Ramirez (VICE/ADULT SWIM).

Visual Delicacies features short films from filmmakers working today across a variety of genres. Inspired by mediocre white centered anthology series’ and inaccessible film festivals, Visual Delicacies highlights works from people of all genders, sexualities, races, and classes to create an equal playing ground for beautiful and thought provoking work. 

By gathering a group of visually decadent pieces for everyone to enjoy, Visual Delicacies creates an atmosphere for film appreciation and the comfort of knowing good things still exist. This night is meant to highlight some of the most exciting voices working in short form film today that might not yet be noticed or are well on their way and to give you, the viewer, a visual escape that’ll inspire you thereafter.

Joe Rumrill

Then, the world's most dangerous comedy show, The Lethal Lottery, pairs up random comedy duos. Stand-ups with improvisers, performance artists with open mic-ers, sometimes we throw a dog in there! Then they face off with other random teams and the winners are named Lethal Lottery Champions!

Our last Lethal Lottery Champions Le Na & Amy Zimmer return to defend their crowns against a slew of new participants to be announced Monday in this event!
