2.20.12 - KHFF 2012 SUBMISSIONS & SPRING EVENTS

GET IN THE COMPETETIVE SPIRIT WITH THREE VERY DIFFERENT FILMS!

First off, we're glad to announce that KHFF is now accepting submissions for our fourth annual film festival, to be held (as usual) in late October. Don't worry, you've still got until October 1 to submit your film, but if it's already done we're ready to check it out! Submission fees range from $10-$20 and must be sent in on NTSC DVD or Blu-ray. (If your film is accepted we'll work with you on getting a digital copy if that's your preference, but for now we like to be able to just pop them in.) You can find more information and the proper forms over on our SUBMISSIONS page.

If THE INNKEEPERS (which was just terrific, yeah?) left you thirsty for more KHFF fun, we hope you'll join us in the coming months for more great screenings! In addition to helping our friends at BMOVIES.COM showcase their free online collection at Relix's new monthly B-Movie Fridays (kicking off on 3/2 with WARRIORS OF THE WASTELAND and THE GUY WITH THE SECRET KUNG-FU) we'll fill the warming months with screenings of THE FP (double-featuring with a second film TBA and a Dance Dance tournament on 3/23), a 16mm Roger Corman double feature of DEATH RACE 2000 and Star Wars knockoff BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (4/7) and MONSTER BRAWL (paired with live wrestling goodness on 5/3). Check out trailers below, and be sure to follow us on Facebook for up-to-the-minute news on these events and more!

1.19.12 - KHFF PRESENTS TI WEST'STHE INNKEEPERS

HELP US KICK OFF OUR FOURTH YEAR WITH A GHOSTLY BANG

We're not wasting any time starting up the scares for 2012! On Friday, February 17 (at our home base Relix Variety Theatre) we'll be presenting our first film of the year, Ti West's haunted hotel yarn THE INNKEEPERS. The KHFF team are all enormous fans of West's HOUSE OF THE DEVIL (seriously, check it out) and we're thrilled to be bringing its followup to Knoxville for two exclusive showings at 7:30pm and 10pm. As usual the film will be preceded by some video goodies, including some sneak peeks at other Spring 2012 KHFF events!

Check out Mayra Fersner's chilling artwork below, and the trailer for the film below that.
