The Gadabout is a DIY touring film festival that screens a program of smart, funny, and sometimes completely absurd short films by extremely talented and independent filmmakers. Although focusing on shorter, humor based films, the selection is not limited to just that. The films are thought provoking, fresh, funny, and beautiful to look at. These filmmakers love what they are doing, and their work shows it.

Incorporating music and art to the festival, the Gadabout celebrates the diverse talents in the D.I.Y. (do it yourself) and independent arts communities. This year's tour with be joined by Halo Fauna, a three piece band from NY, who play thoughtful and sincere indie/punk rock. Their last full length was released on CD by Plan-It-X records, and vinyl by Salinas Records/Dead Broke.

Along with the music and films, the event will also include a full art show with Kristine Virsis of Justseeds, showing many of her own prints as well as work by other Justseed’s artists. Justseeds is a radical arts collective made up of a diverse group of talented artists, and focuses mostly on political projects, including the People’s History Posters, and more. The prints will be for sale, and it is the artist’s goal to make them affordable
