The festival's opening ceremonies, taking place March 29, will feature a preview screening of the Strip for Pain TV pilot at midnight. The Strip for Pain game show will take place April 1 during the Backseat Film Festival's closing ceremonies.
Dubbed "America's Most Dangerous Game Show," attendees compete by withstanding increasing levels of pain — electrocution, fire, asphyxiation and kicks in the balls are just a few methods used in the show. The more pain contestants endure, the more clothing the Burning Angel girls strip off. The winner of the competition will receive a special lap dance.
"We hurt them a lot," Angel told XBIZ. "This isn't some weird sexual pain, this is real pain."
Angel said she thinks most guys endure the pain to prove their machismo to their friends and the audience. Plus, she said, they like the attention.
Several Burning Angel girls will be on hand to destroy the film festival's rejected submissions in what they call an "annual ritual." The girls trash the discarded films in a different way each year.
To promote the weekend, adult director Doug Sakmann and some Burning Angel girls will appear on the Kidd Chris Show Thursday at 4:30 p.m. to perform an on-air version of Strip for Pain, using one of the show's members as a contestant.
Strip for Pain and the Backseat Film Festival will take place at the Backseat Theater at 941 N. Front St.
Closing ceremonies, hosted by Sakmann, will take place at the Manhattan Room at 15 W. Girard Ave.
