Hollywood CA (PRWEB) May 27, 2014 -- 5th Annual New Media Film Festival a Cinematic Extravaganza

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.

New Media Film Festival hasn’t just passed the crucial festival benchmark of 5 years, a lifetime in Hollywood. The programming has taken storytelling to a new level through technological innovations we couldn’t even imagine a few years ago. Sally Kirkland

Post this

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 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:
