The 7th annual installment of the Coney Island Film Festival hits the shores of Coney Island on Friday, September 28th through Sunday, September 30th. This year's festival features eighty films from around the world; a stunning array of high and low-brow fare, as diverse as the neighborhood it represents. Subjects range from the profound to the profane, showcasing the independent spirit and irreverent nature of the one and only Coney Island.
This year's centerpiece film is director Mike Edwards Coney Island Cyclone. Unseen at any film festival, this documentary short is a look at the world's greatest roller coaster during its 50th anniversary in 1977. Four outstanding documentary features will have their New York premieres at CIFF this year; American Scary: a look at the nation's tradition of television horror hosting, from Zacherley to A. Ghastlee Ghoul; Mathematically Alive: A Story of Fandom, is an exploration of fandom with an intimate look into the lives of New York Mets fans.; Llik your Idols, a documentary that tells the story of "The Cinema of Transgression" movement (New York, 1984-1991) and introduces its 4 main figures: Richard Kern, Lydia Lunch, Joe Coleman and Nick Zedd; and Blood, Boobs & Beast tells the compelling story of Don Dohler, whose movies have been called everything from oddly brilliant to some of the worst film s of all time.
Feature film highlights include D.B. Sweeney's directorial debut, Two Tickets to Paradise: Starring John C. McGinley, D.B. Sweeney and Ed Harris, a comedy that is both hilarious and heartwarming. It takes us on a journey of lost dreams and underappreciated treasures and reminds us that in this crazy, uncertain world, the one thing we can count on is our friends... King of Sorrow starring Kim Coates and Lara Daans makes its U.S. Premiere at CIFF. A drug-addicted homicidal policeman struggles with God and himself as he attempts to dispel the darkness that weighs so heavily upon him... Celluloid #1 starring Julie Atlas Muz is a confetti of references/passions to the genius of Warhol, Fassbinder and the era of 'The Hustler' as well as the glory of black and white. Celluloid #1 is ultimately about celluloid and how it captures us. The festival will screen the 1979 Coney Island classic The Warriors at 10:30pm on Saturday.
The Coney Island Film festival also offers a huge variety of shorts: three time Emmy Award Winner James Gandolfini stars in the fable, Club Soda; Entourage's Adrian Grenier plays everyday man Bruno, who saves the world by literally setting it back into motion in Off Hour. In Bally Master we take a peek into the life of Scott Baker as he performs his most outrageous sideshow routines and talks in depth about his life and the history of geeking and of the sideshow. Andy Samberg of Saturday Night Live lends his talents to the surreal and bizarre Nature of The Beast.
CIFF features new shorts from master animators Signe Baumane and academy award nominated Bill Plympton and a program of eight shorts which use Coney Island backdrops in a screening at 6pm on Saturday. The festival wraps up Sunday evening with a hip hop themed program at 6pm on Sunday.
The festival will begin with an Opening Night Gala on September 28th. American Scary screens at 7:30pm at Sideshows by the Seashore followed by an opening night party, 9:30 p.m. at The Coney Island Museum. It's an evening of live sideshow performance, music, and burlesque that will kick off the festival with a riotous bang. An awards ceremony takes place Sunday, September 30th after the final screening at the Eldorado Auto Skooters next door.

Coney Island Film Festival Firstly try & avoid picking someone up on the street, remember this is a muslim country & this may lead to difficulties.
One of the busiest places to go is a Nightclub called `The Cyclone'. This place has 3 main areas, Cyclone Pub - Very quiet where you can sit down & listen to the Canadian Band, Cyclone Disco - This is where all the real action happens, quality is average, however get there early, perhaps around 11.30pm & you can pick a good one. The third area is above the disco, this area is reasonably dark & often is used for `blow-jobs' etc.
Pricing is from 200 Dirhams for a quick straight service to 700 Dirhams for a quality babe for the night. Mainly Russians here.
Try it & see!!
Another place is a Club called `The Garage', Split 50/50 between Russian & Ethiopian. Quality is lower & prices cheaper.
Lebanese & Philipinos when you do come across them tend to be very expensive.
Most bars in the large hotels will have a smatterring around the bar. They normally work in pairs, quality in the larger hotels is usually very high, as is the price.
I have made these observations about prostitution in Dubai and would like to share it with the world.
Though illegal, prostitution is commonly found in Dubai, since Dubai is an economy based on tourism and trading. Prostitution seems to be complementary to the economy as it supports the hospitality industy (which is almost fully owned / sponsored by the locals). This is how you can get prostitutes in Dubai, which i have divided based on their nationality.
Though police raid spots occasionally, it is merely an eyewash. Customers are let go immediately, while the prostitute is kept for a couple of hours. ALWAYS CARRY A NEW AND BRANDED PACKET OF CONDOMS THAT YOU SHOULD BUY FROM A MEDICAL STORE. AIDS IS COMMON. Clean yourselves before the act, especially when oral is involved.
RUSSIANS - These are the most commonly available prostitutes. Some are from Moscow, but the rest are from smaller breakaway republics of the confederation, though they may lie that they are from Moscow. The myth being that prostitutes from Moscow are better (and more expensive). They vary in ages from 16 - 40. They are found all over Dubai, and are easy to spot. You can pick one up almost any hour of the day. They are found in rooms in hotels and 'furnished apartments', in bars and on the streets. You may encounter pimps while walking in the streets of Deira (but you can do without their services well enough). Hotels and Furnished Apartments near the Fish Roundabout and near Al Nasr Square have room service with prostitutes. For Dhs.20 tip with the guy at the Reception, you can inspect the girls, who will be lazing away in the rooms all sexily dressed up, smoking and sometimes with a smell of whisky. If you do not like any of the girls, you are free to leave the place. If you do like one you can negotiate the rates. They vary and are bargainable. They may charge Dhs.50 for a straight, bj will cost you an additional Dhs.30. These prices can even triple if the prostitute considers herself better than that. There are some who would charge Dhs.150 for a straight and Dhs.500 for a night. Never go in for the night. After the first shot they will act sleepy / drunk / cold. You will only stand to lose your money. Better to return when the mood resets and choose another one. After you have concluded the prices, you may have to deposit your passport / identity card at the reception and pay for the room. Charges vary from Dhs.30 / hour to Dhs.150 / hour based on the quality of the hotel. A full night charge may vary between Dhs.150 to Dhs.500. They are also found in pubs, bars, discos and with bands in hotels all over Dubai. They can be fixed on the spot and their prices fall as the night becomes shorter. Hence a prostitute that might charge Dhs.1000 at 8pm will come down to Dhs.300 by 2am. If you have patience and if somebody doesn't pull the girl away, you stand to save money. They expect to be treated in the pub while you talk to them. They will order some expensive drinks and treats. So be careful. Several apartments all over Dubai too support this activites. A walk in the streets in Deira (try all the roads near the Fish Roundabout) will easily lead you to one. Do not go in for a 'full night' at these places. They usually want the customer out once the first shot is over and will behave in such a manner. Streetwalkers are the most easily available Russians in Dubai. A walk on Yousuf Baker Road and all the byelanes to it will easily suffice your search. The best timings are after 7pm. There is a car park near Maktoum Hospital where one can get bj's in your car. Once you pick them up, any taxi will guide you to a furnished apartment where you can peacefully enjoy. Remember that all Russians are bargainable. If success eludes you simply walk in MarMar Hotel on Yousuf Baker Road. No questions asked. Though most prostitutes seem clean, it is suspect. It would be advisable you thoroughly wash before orals. Though they hesitate initially, most provide bj's without rubber. It would be advisable to purchase a flavoured condom if bj is absolutely essential. You can also pick up more than one if you relish threesome (and more). Rarely do they provide anal. After sex, it is best you leave, as they completely detach from you, and those who stay on have an eye on your wallet. Never give gifts or extra money (they will have many sad tales to relate).
ETHIOPIANS - This is the second most found variety. Very beautiful, well dressed, slim and with well endowed breasts. They are mostly found in Deira. They can be found in the furnished apartments around Gold Souk. The best bet would be The Garage (behind KFC, Al Nasr Square) and after 10pm. The enterance is Dhs.50 and is open till about 3am. Your ability to bargain will fetch you a good deal. Most of them have their own flats in Dubai, which they share with their husbands / relatives. Sometimes they will be around while you are on the act (and sometimes even watch) and is sometimes difficult for those who require total privacy. Such cases, work out for a straight and avoid the 'full night'. The best would be to take them to a furnished apartment. They have their own choice and will lead you to them. Most of them will lie that they are Moroccans, better not ask them their nationality. Their charges will vary from Dhs.200 (1 shot) / Dhs.500 (full night) to Dhs.500 (1 shot) to Dhs.1,500 (full night). The best bargains are available after 1.00pm. Do not spend more than a couple of beers if you spend time negotiating, then half way through the act they will pretend to fall asleep. Some Ethopians will provide you ultimate pleasure. Depends on your choice and luck. Most of them have heavy breasts and make a lot of noise during sex. Some provide oral and anal. Never provide them with alcohol before the act. Never give them extra money than agreed upon. This is no charity.
UGANDANS - Never mistake them for the Ethopians. They are usually hughly built and ugly. They can be found in the byelanes around Gold Souk. Usually found wearing just a top and skirt, with no underwear inside. They are avilable for as low as Dhs.30 (1 shot) and can be taken to a neighbouring furnished apartment (That's Dhs.50 extra for the room). They usually wear nothing inside and have stripped even before you have latched the room and ask you to hurry through the process. They easily provide bj's, even let you come in their mouths, allow penetration without rubber, allow anal and even threesome. But the pleasure got in return is suspect and AIDS definite if you are unprotected. They are usually dirty and smell foul from the organs when they spread out. You may require a gas mask if you plan on anal or doggie. Most give excellent bj's and allow any position that their physique could. Surprisingly they have very well to do customers. Many Britishers pick them up (such Brits are called 'coalminers' by their peers). If you take them to your apartment, they will clean up your refrigerator and bar.
PHILLIPINOS - With the advent of Russians, they have totally lost control of the market. Though they are the best available. They are mostly found in Philipino restaurants in Karama, Bur Dubai & Deira. Most of them work in offices and moonlight as prostitutes. They are expensive (from Dhs.500 onwards) and extremely clean. They provide a massage (usually) and it is recommended that you don't miss out on that. Mostly they do not allow oral and anal. But provide the best of orient - a smooth, soft and sexy screw. They can be good escorts as well and take you around the city and would even go out for a dinner / movie with you. However beware of those who ask you for gifts. Though some may be above 30 years and with children and family, you would certainly not suspect them to be more than early 20's. Definitely they are the best in city, if you are not compulsory about oral / anal.
PAKISTANIS - They are found in nightclubs in Deira and Bur Dubai. Some are found near Roundabouts in Deira (and are picked up by Pakistani taxi drivers). Avoid them. They are very dirty, chew tobacco and talk a lot. They behave cranky once you take them to your apartment and drink heavily. But sometimes they can be marvelous. If a Pakistani finds your with a Pakistani prostitute, he will follow you and might agitate you. Taxidrivers usually ask questions if you are transporting them and they talk to each other in a alien language. There have been instances of mugging by Pakistani prostitutes who have their males trailing them. However, I repeat, some are simply marvellous.
INDIANS - Are again found in Indian pubs / nightclubs in Deira and Bur Dubai. There are some housewives too who practice when their husbands are at work (with the knowledge of their husbands, of course). Sometimes they bring their child along or would have them around if you visit their home. The ones found in clubs arrive on 14 day / 3 month visas from Bombay and are part of a well oranised trade by the hotel owners. Usually you have to take them to a room in the same hotel. Others would give you an appointment the next day! They are usually clean, do not allow oral / anal. They charge between Dhs. 100 to Dhs.300 (1 shot). A full night with them sometimes don't work. They usually provide handjobs in the restaurant itselves, but you would go broke with them ordering orange juices (Dhs.50 each!) and snacks. You can also pick up working women from Cyclone.
MOROCCANS - The ultimate. Visit Dubai airport when the Air Morocco flight arrives and watch them get into cars with rich Arabs. They are hardly found in pubs and hotels. You need excellent contacts to get one in your hand. They come with a very expensive tag (Dhs.3000 and above) and are said to be value for money. They usually come to Dubai to meet some rich Arab who will maintain her. If you have the luck, money & contact...go for a Moroccan.
BRITISH - They are usually found in pubs / discos in star hotels. Try the ones in Sheraton, Hyatt, Dubai Plaza, Shell Inn, Ramada, Cyclone, etc. They drink a lot before they agree to come along and charge over Dhs.1,000 for a shot. They are considered good and are mostly picked up by Arabs and Brits themselves. Mostly they are 18-25 years or above 35 years. They will require you to take them to your apartment (no furnished apartments or hotels for them) and you will incur more then you had planned to spend.
Hope that suffices your inquisitiveness and ticks you on the search. Dubai is great by night and hopping from one pub to the next will really open out your search and keep your options open. Try visiting Cyclone and check out the variety that it offers. Be on foot in Deira and take the Yousuf Baker Road (near Claridge Hotel) and walk upto Al Nasr Square after 7 pm and continue through the bylanes to the Gold Souq. You will discove the best in Arabic nightlife. Good luck (never forget the condom)
