Penguicon, clearly, is the one whose schedule is not yet finalized. Updates will happen when updated information is known. [EDIT: ConBust is cancelled in its entirety as of March 9, 2020] [EDIT: The University of Michigan has cancelled all events organized by others on their campus until April 21. A2 CMP2 will be rescheduled.] [EDIT: It’s official. All previously-scheduled Cine Mal Practice shows for 2020 have been cancelled. Curse you, Coronavirus! I’m glad Asterix put an end to your scheming ways in the comics.]

Here are the Final and Accurate Results of the first year’s Cine Mal Practice shows. You will note that there are several different winners listed. Each show has its individual winner, and the overall winner is chosen by aggregated vote total. One year, there may be an overall winner that comes in second at each show — but it won’t be this year.

Cine Mal Practice is the new project by Amy Conlon, Kevin Hogan, Greg Pearson, Jeannette Quirk, and Matthew Quirk. It is the umbrella for all of the projects that we want to do in the future. To contact us, e-mail cin3emal3practic3e3@g3mail.c3om (omitting the 3s).

The most fully realized of these is the Awards Show. Cine Mal Practice presents an awards show for movies such as the candy-colored noir “The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror” or the classic art film “Dinocroc vs. Supergator.”
