What: 5th Annual New Media Film Festival
Where: The Landmark Theatre W. Pico Blvd. LA, CA
When: June 10 & 11th 2014

Los Angeles in June, a cinematic extravaganza – New Media Film Festival held at The Landmark Theatre W. Pico Blvd. LA, CA. Among other things, Roger Corman and John Carpenter are going to be in the house.

Declared “worth the entry fee” by MovieMaker Magazine and hailed for making “the cutting edge accessible” by Huffington Post, The New Media Film Festival celebrates the ever-changing world of new media. The 2014 edition of the festival will showcase 112 films from 25 countries. http://www.NewMediaFilmFestival.com

As noted by NMFF attendee and fan Oscar Nomiinee Sally Kirkland, “The New Media Film Festival hasn’t just passed the crucial festival benchmark of five years, which is a lifetime in Hollywood. The programming has taken storytelling to a new level through technological innovations we couldn’t even imagine a few years back.”

While many festivals have stuck with old-school programs of shorts and features, the NMFF exhibits a stunning diversity of emerging media across 20 categories, including Digital Comics, 3D, and mobile content. At the same time, the festival also tips its hat to film history. At the closing ceremony, John Carpenter will present Roger Corman with the coveted Legend Award.

Highlights of this year’s line-up include:

Turn It Up / Dir. Robert Radler (LA Premiere) — The history of the electric guitar, from its invention in the 1930s to its golden years, right through the phenomenon of the Guitar Hero video-game and digital guitars of the future.

Why We Ride / Dir. Bryan H. Carroll (Special Screening) — An inspiring adventure into the world of motorcycling, told by those who live life to the fullest on 2-wheeled machines.
