Next month marks one year of LTTM's Shorts Fest, and we have had a wild ride. Did you miss episodes 1-11? Not to worry, you can check them out at the main library. We are slowly but surely burning DVDs of each episode and making them available through the newly created Memphis Film Collection on the fourth floor of the main library. Also check out other films made here in the Mid-South.
This month's edition of the fest includes a wide variety of films. From a fairy tale to another installment of the Necktie Trilogy and ending it all with local speed metal band, Cult of the Flag. Our host for this month is the Man of Memphis and the South, David Tankersley. Be sure to tune in!

Grim Sweeper: Got your tix yet?
The Memphis indie film Grim Sweeper will play at Malco's Studio on the Square in Midtown Memphis on Thursday April 19th.
Here's Beifuss on the upcoming screening and a short interview with Edward Valibus Phillips.
This was screened at last year's Indie Memphis Film Festival and the place was packed. It's a highly entertaining feature by a group of University of Memphis grads and well worth your time. And I'm not saying this just because I'm in it.
There will be TWO screenings that night.
1st Screening at 7:10 PM
2nd Screening at 9:35 PM
Tickets are $6
