On Location: MEMPHIS was originally formed by Michael C. Harwood as the Memphis Film Forum. The International Film & Music Festival was an annual 3-day event, which featured a rich variety of American and International films. Each day was filled with educational workshops (for the filmmakers and musicians involved), special film screenings (for the film and music fans attending), with parties and music performances (for everyone) consuming the nights.

Throughout the years the festival ran, OL:M screened a number of Academy Award-nominated films, such as Don Hertzfeldt’s “The Meaning of Life,” Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s “Amores Perros,” “Most (The Bridge)” by Bobby Garabedian and William Zabka, and Sam Green and Bill Siegel’s “The Weather Underground.” Despite all of the wonderful attractions in Memphis, TN, filmmakers and musicians who have attended and been involved with the International Film & Music Fest have told us that “hospitality” was the main thing that set our festival apart from the others.
