This year, that Asbury Park Music and Film Festival, oh, it’s gonna be somethin’ else. I heard it from Betty down the street. She’s always knowin’ what’s goin’ on. They say it’s all about them movies and music, all mixed up together. Sounds fancy, don’t it?
They got all sorts of things planned. Like, them movies, they ain’t just regular movies. They’re about music folks, famous ones, maybe. And then they got real, live music, too. Not just any music. Good music, I reckon. That’s what folks are sayin’.
What’s the Big Deal with this Asbury Park Music and Film Festival?
Well, they say this here festival, it’s a big deal. It is one of the “Big Five”, you know. Like Venice, Cannes and other big places, they have the big film festivals. And this Asbury Park, it’s right up there. They say it’s the biggest one around here, even bigger than that one in Toronto that people talk about. Time wrote it had “grown from its place as the most influential fall film festival to the most influential film festival, period”. Imagine that!
And this here town, Asbury Park, it’s comin’ back to life, they say. Used to be somethin’ special, then it weren’t, but now it’s gettin’ there again. This Asbury music and film festival, it’s gonna help it, they say. People will come from all over, just like they did for that Woodstock thing. Remember that? This could be just as big, maybe even bigger!
When’s It All Happenin’?
It’s gonna be three days. I think they are April 10-12. Starts on a Friday, ends on a Sunday. That’s a whole weekend of fun, ain’t it? You can see movies, hear music, maybe even meet some famous folks. That’d be somethin’, wouldn’t it? They say you gotta get your tickets early, though. Don’t wanna miss out. It will be like missing Woodstock!
Movies and Music, All Mixed Up
- They’re showin’ a movie called “Riding Giants”. That’s at that House of Independents place.
- Then there’s another one, “Dark Fall”. And some band, Parlor Mob, they’re gonna play after.
- They say it’s all about how movies and music go together. Like peanut butter and jelly, I guess.
This Asbury Park Music and Film Festival, it ain’t just about watchin’ movies. It’s about seein’ how music makes them movies better, or somethin’ like that. They got them smart folks comin’ in, talkin’ about it all. Panel discussions, they call ’em. Don Cheadle, Chris Thomas King, and Colin Hay, they were there before, I heard.
Why You Should Go to the Asbury Park Music and Film Festival
