ITP V.010: METAL AT THE MOVIES: PART 20: (FIRST ANNUAL) HEAVY METAL FILM FESTIVAL 3/31-4/3/2011 LOS ANGELES, CA

Here we are with ITP V.010 METAL AT THE MOVIES PART 20 as directors and producers have announced THE FIRST ANNUAL HEAVY METAL FILM FESTIVAL 3/31-4/3/2011 LOS ANGELES, CA.
FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET:
This inaugural event is the brainchild of Samuel Douek, a metalhead since the age of six and director of the Hola México Film Festival. He says, "After the success of films like 'Metal: A Headbanger's Journey', 'Heavy Metal In Baghdad', 'Anvil: The Story Of Anvil', 'Lemmy', 'Until The Light Takes Us', and many others in recent years, the idea is to bring the best films in metal together and give them one home. The primary objective is to bring the metal community together to watch our music on the big screen. There's a bright future for metal films, and I want to have a platform to launch them, promote them, and support them. I also want to have some great [question-and-answer] sessions with directors and maybe even some surprise guests."

There is still an open call for submissions, which can include full-length features, documentaries, shorts, "making-of"s and live concerts. The only required theme is that the footage focus on heavy metal music. Deadline for submissions is Friday, February 4, 2011.

The program for the Heavy Metal Film Festival will be finalized on Friday, February 18, 2011.

For more information about submitting to the film festival or volunteering for the event, please write in to heavymetalfilmfestival@gmail.com. You can also visit the festival's official Facebook page.

After the success of films like Headbangers Journey, Anvil, Lemmy, and many more in recent years. The people that have brought the Hola Mexico Film Festival (www.holamexicoff.com) are organizing the 1st ever Heavy Metal Film Festival with the idea to bring the best film in metal.
