ON LOCATION: MEMPHIS PARTIES HAVE SOUL!!!
The festival has become greatly known for its Southern Hospitality to our filmmakers and special guests. Each year we feature entertainment with that special Memphis soul in a hip, bluesy atmosphere found nowhere else on earth. The festival features an opening night party like no other! Join us Thursday night at Ground Zero Blues Club, owned by acclaimed actor Morgan Freeman, where attendees can meet and mingle with the filmmakers and celebs. Ground Zero is just off Beale Street across from the FedEx Forum and the Gibson Guitar Factory at 158 Lt. George W. Lee Street. The party starts at 9:30 pm. Admission is FREE with a Festival Pass. Didn’t get a pass???? No worries, just pay a $10 cover charge at the door and not miss a beat!
Friday night we head downtown for our famous Earnestine and Hazel’s party. Located at 531 S Main Street, Earnestine and Hazel’s is the greatest dive in Memphis!! This former brothel, (yes brothel!) turned bar has a unique vibe, The rooms that once were, well you know, are now lounging areas with old couches and tables for people to hide away from the crowd!! It’s known for having the best juke box in town and the smell of their world famous Soul Burger will leave your mouth watering!! There are two bars here, the main bar downstairs with a dance floor for you to shake a leg too and the upstairs bar for those who prefer a little more mystery and charm. No cover charge for this party, just boogie on down and meet us!
Saturday night we add a little international flair – after all, we are an international film fest! After our OL:Mtv music video screening, join us at Celtic Crossing, our late night hot spot for Saturday, at 903 S Cooper in the Cooper Young area of town. Swig a pint or two, devour some bangers and mash and celebrate international style!
Don’t miss out – be sure to join us behind the blue velvet ropes!

Paul Saltzman
Filmmaker/Producer (Documentary-Prom Night in Mississippi-Morgan Freeman) nominated for Grand Jury Prize Sundance Film Festival, and multiple Gemini Awards by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television for various tv movies, tv dramatic series and tv miniseries. In 1997, Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman, who lives in Charleston, Mississippi, offered to fund the first-ever integrated senior Prom in the history of Charleston's one high school. His offer was ignored.
In 2008, Morgan offered again, and the East Tallahatchie County school board accepted. In this town of 2,100 people, its high school of 415 black and white students always had separate proms: one black, one white. "Prom Night" follows the Charleston High senior class of 2008 preparing and attending their historic integrated prom in the context of the strong emotions, traditions and conflict inherent in race relations in the community and the Deep South. The tension builds as some of the parents decide to maintain the whites-only prom.
