CIMMFEST 2011!

Six days is all ladies and gentleman. Six days away from the cultural masterpiece that is known as the Chicago International Movies and Music Festival. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but i am giddy like a kid in a candy shop about some of the content that will be presented at this years festival. CIMMFEST, in its 3rd year, is a four day, multi-venue festival that emerges the world of film and music together and allows the creative community of Chicago to come together and celebrate the amazing world of music and film. The festival will showcase a lot of the fun and unique work created by artists, directors, producers and the creative community as a whole, and we have four days of it! (consider your weekend planned). The festival this year will feature the world premiere of "FIX: The Ministry Movie" focusing on the former Chicago industrial metal band, The Ministry. Bassist, Paul Barker as well as the films director Douglas Freel will be in attendance at the screening which takes place April 14th at 7:30 pm at the Music Box Theater. Seventy films from over 20 countries will be screened including features, documentaries, shorts, concert films, animation, and music videos, all of which have music at their center. Supplementing will be live performances by Mike Watt, stars from Chicago’s All Natural label, Tutu & the Pirates, Gurf Morlix, Tim Rutilli and Gillian Lisee (Fruitbats), plus panel discussions and numerous filmmaker appearances. There will also be plenty of free programming at the Chicago cultural Center throughout the weekend, see CIMMFEST webstie for details, www.cimmfest.org. Hope to see all your smiling faces there!
