The Battle Between the Burps and Farts is a 31-minute long[2] short film directed, written and produced by Aiden Dillard and distributed by Troma Entertainment.[1] It was made as an expansion of a student film he made in his junior year[3] which was, according to Dillard, he made the film in the wake of 9/11, calling it "his attempt to show the terrorists that they will never destroy the rotten, smelly core of the Big Apple".[2]

Screening

The Battle Between the Burps and Farts was first screened in New York City and upon its première, was responsible for inciting many a fist fight amongst audience members.[2] After it was submitted to the TromaDance festival, it became the first and so far only film to be booed by everybody in attendance.[1] Despite this, Troma Entertainment executive Lloyd Kaufman remained optimistic about it, calling it a "high point of TromaDance 2004"[4] and on the back of this film's screening, Troma released Meat Weed Madness which included this film as an extra on the DVD.[1]

Plot

The film tells the story of a girl, Princess Martha Stew-Burp,[2] who is able to channel flatulence at will.[1] After she is kidnapped by a wizard, she is taught to channel her wind orally, but after being raped by the leader of the Burps, regains her ability to channel her wind anally.[1]

Critical reception

Bill Gibron of DVD Talk called its universal condemnation "not hard to see why"[1] and called it "excruciating to sit through. It's loud, abrasive and more or less pointless. Still, it does offer a window into Dillard's designs as a filmmaker".[1]
