The strange and inspiring tale of the Polka King and Queen Video

The Polka King and the Polka Queen have a dream of uniting the world through heavily sequined costumes, colorful wigs and an avant-garde interpretation of an obscure Eastern European musical form. And that's the least of it. (Note: Short may take a few moments to load; the film is 7 minutes long.) Visit here for more of filmmaker ZZalgern0n's zany work. And tonight -- attention New Yorkers! -- come to Rooftop Films short film show Clowns and Rollercoastersunderneath New Yorks famed High Line, for more incredible circus shorts.
