$100 Film Fest Small format. Big Vision.
2017 Film/Music Explosion!
Since 2003, the Film/Music Explosion! has opened each night of the $100 Film Festival. The Film/Music Explosion! is an opportunity for local emerging filmmakers to create a Super 8 film based on a song. Each film is accompanied by a live performance of the song during the festival. This year we have partnered with some of Canada's most innovative musical organizations to bring you the best up and coming local artists:
DRI HIEV is an industrial noise-punk band based in Calgary, Alberta. Mixing an aggressive assortment of guitars with a modern electronic range of programmed rhythms. Contorting between sullen moods and tantrums of rage, DRI HIEV are always fidgeting with the ideas of self-exploration and expression.
Eric Durnford is a Calgary based Producer and Director, and a firm believer in the sanctity of dog marriage.

Snotty Calgary punks The Shiverettes throw unruly riffs up against a backdrop of cuntry-rock influence and spit rough, honest and tongue-in-cheek lyrics all over em. They're unabashedly feminist and don't shy away from hard truths and dark subjects. The band formed nearly four years ago with a desire to flip scripts and start important dialogues, all while channeling the riot grrrl mantra of Girls To The Front.
