Heavy Metal Parking Lot

The pinnacle of underground cult documentaries centres on interviews with audience members getting primed in the car park of a stadium hosting a Judas Priest concert later in the night. What unfolds is an absolute riot of a film, shot on VHS with a handheld mic. Heavy Metal Parking Lot has grown from an obscure underground documentary into a definitive cultural touchstone, inspiring a “parking lot genre” that resonates to this day with sequels, screenings, concerts, a reality-TV series, and countless fan-generated films.

The screening will be introduced by festival guest Penny Lane Screens with Dream Deceivers
