The Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame (LIMEHOF) in Stony Brook, New York is bringing together film and music with the LIMEHOF Music Documentary Film Festival. Running August 8 - 10 the festival features 24 music documentary films to screen, featuring The Beatles, Harry Chapin, Zombies, Steppenwolf, Public Enemy, Ron Delsener, Garland Jeffreys, and many more. These films come from around the world and embody musical genres such as classical, hip-hop, rock, jazz, ska, blues and folk, and many others. 

One of the opening day’s short films is Coming Home: The Guggenheim Grotto Back in Ireland. Director and actor Will Chase, producer Deborah Lopez and singer Ingrid Michaelson are expected to attend. This Q&A is expected to be followed by a live music performance by Mick Lynch. Director Robert McCullough Jr. and members of the Bronx Boys Wrecking Crew are expected to attend the screening of The Bronx Boys – The Evolution of B-Boy Culture. To My Rescue, It Was The S1Ws (A Public Enemy Story) will also screen, with director Janol Ture and Hip-Hop Legend DJ Johnny Juice (Public Enemy), who will join the Q&As and perform live following both films. The closing night spotlight film is Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary.

“This music documentary film festival is the perfect way to extend the mission of the Long Island Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame—to preserve the past, celebrate the present, and ignite a love for music in future generations,” said LIMEHOF Vice Chairman Tom Needham who is organizing the film festival as Executive Director with film festival Artistic Director Wendy Feinberg.
