The 2010 film festival season is well underway, and after attending back-to-back monsters like Sundance and SXSW, there's always a huge part of me that looks forward to the Gen Art Film Festival and its simple pitch of seven shorts, seven features and seven parties spread across seven days in New York City. To help spread the word this year, the good folks at Gen Art have put together this tantalizing sneak peek at the films premiering between the nights of April 7th-13th, 2010, and they've handed it over to Cinematical to debut. Why? Because we're cool like that.

I've heard people refer to Gen Art's fest as "the best of the fests" since they usually program films that were very successful at other festivals; sort of like a highly entertaining playlist featuring some of the films festival audiences liked best this past year. And for their special 15th Annual Gen Art Film Festival, they're bringing out the big guns -- screening Sundance audience award winners (like happythankyoumoreplease, a film which you'll be able to watch the first footage from in the video after the jump) and Slamdance audience award winners (like The Wild Hunt), as well as other fest favorites like Mercy, Tanner Hall, Teenage Paparazzo, Waiting for Forever and Elektra Luxx (a personal favorite of mine).

Check out this special exclusive sneak peek at all the films screening at Gen Art this year after the jump, then hop on over to their official website for more info on the festival, like schedules and ticket info.

Celebrity Sightings: The Hollywood Reporter has some pics of Adrian Brody, Jamie Lynn Sigler and others from opening night of the festival.

Our Coverage: You saw the photo of Jen Yamato's red carpet interview with the ladies of Elektra Luxx yesterday; now learn what Malin Ackerman, Carla Gugino and Emmanuelle Chriqui told her, as well as what happened at the film's world premiere when the projection fails two-thirds through. Jen also interviewed Chloe Sevigny of Barry Munday and Mr. Nice.

Kevin Kelly talked with Leaves of Grass director Tim Blake Nelson and star (x2) Edward Norton and chatted up Cyrus lead Jonah Hill, who'd like Cinematical and other blogs to be a little gentle on him from now on.

As for reviews, Eric D. Snider calls the documentary His & Hers "adorably sweet." At Horror Squad, Alison Nastasi writes of Tony, "the story is more of a social realist character study than an outright horror film and some of the essentially British issues may be unfamiliar to certain audiences, but the overall ideas are universal." At SciFi Squad, Micah Matthews writes of Hubble 3D: "I can honestly say that watching this movie in true IMAX 3D was an experience unlike any I've had before."
