2014-09-08 Artists In Residence [link]
Metallica has been asked to take part of this year's Mill Valley Film Festival as Artists in Residence. Each band member will be hosting a film they've selected that is significant to them personally. The member will be on hand to introduce the film and take questions, and in some cases will be joined by the filmmakers.

On Friday, October 3 at 10pm Kirk presents Dracula vs. Frankenstein at the Rafael Theater in San Rafael, CA.

On Monday, October 6th at 6pm Robert will offer a sneak peek at his passion project, Jaco the new documentary about the story of legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius. The showing is at the Sequoia in Mill Valley, CA.

On Tuesday October 7 at 7pm Lars will present unreleased Whiplash, and indie feature about an aspiring drummer and his ruthless teacher. The showing is at the Cinema Corte Madera in Corte Madera, CA. The film won multiple awards at Sundance this year. Following the film, directory and screenwriter Damien Chazelle will join Lars for a conversation and Q&A.

On October 8 at 7pm James will be hosting western classic The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, show in all its restored glory. You'll recognize this film as the origin of the Ecstasy of Gold music that starts off nearly every Metallica show. The showing will be at Cinema Corte Madera in Corte Madera, CA.

But of course, that's not all. Following the screening of Jaco, Robert will host a musical celebration honoring Jaco Pastorius at the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA. The event is a benefit for the California Film Institute. Performers will include MAERIC with Mary Pastorius, David Pastorius & Eric Young; Kirk Hammett & Robert Trujillo; Rodrigo y Gabriela; Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Addiction; L. Shenkar; and others.
