The Derby City Film FestivalA different kind of festival...
From the beginning the DCFF has distinguished itself from other
festivals, by selecting the only the very best in true independent
films. Focusing on independent films and filmmakers rather than
celebrities and hype, the DCFF sets out to prove that quality films do
not have multi-million dollar budgets. Credit card advances, family
loans, selling plasma, doing whatever it takes to get your dream and
vision to the big screen are the types of films and filmmakers we
showcase. Those are true independent films.
So whether you are a filmmaker or just a lover of film, we encourage you
to come and be apart of the Derby City Film Festival. We bet by the
time you leave you wonder why every festival doesn't do it this way. The 2012 DCFF will be held February 17th - 19th, 2012 and submissions open July 1st, 2011.  Lance Henriksen to receive Lifetime Achievement Award at The Derby City Film Festival
Lance Henriksen to receive Lifetime Achievement Award at The Derby City Film Festival
Veteran actor known for roles in “Terminator” and “Aliens” is attending the festival in support of his latest film “It’s in the Blood”.
LOUISVILLE, KY. (January 25th) —
Legendary actor Lance Henriksen will be the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award during the 2012 Derby City Film Festival in February. Henriksen, who’s career spans 4+ decades and includes credits in nearly 200 films, television shows and video games, will be attending the festival in support of his role in the film “It’s in the Blood”.
Henriksen is probably best known for his role as Bishop in the “Aliens” and “Aliens vs. Predator” films and video games, but he has also appeared in the classic films “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, “The Right Stuff” and “Terminator” among others. In the late 90’s he played Frank Black in the television series “Millennium”. and more recently he has lent his voice talents to video games like “Transformers”, “Call of Duty” and “Mass Effect”.
“It’s in the Blood” is a feature film from Louisville natives and Ballard High School graduates Scooter Downey & Sean Elliot and is up for three awards including Best Feature Film and two Best Actor Nominations for stars Henriksen & Sean Elliot. “Blood” tells the tale of a father (Henriksen) and son (Elliot) who become stranded in the wild and must confront the horrors of their past to escape with their lives. However, this wilderness is not what it seems, and as they deteriorate, so to does their concept of reality: horrifying creatures, ghostly apparitions, is it all in their heads, or could the truth be far more terrible? “It’s in the Blood” screens at 8:00 PM on February 18th with the short film “Endless”. There will be a Q&A with the films stars and production team follow the screening.
Henriksen will be taking part in some of the festival’s activities including panels and the awards presentation & symposium. He will also be promoting his new biography, “Lance Henriksen - Not Bad for a Human” which was released in 2011. An autograph session has been scheduled for Saturday afternoon from 3:00 - 4:00. Henriksen will be available to sign memorabilia or copies of his biography. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. The autograph session is only available to DCFF attendees and you will be required to show your ticket or pass to take part. The Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Henriksen prior to the screening of “It’s in the Blood” on Saturday. Henriksen will be available for interviews with the media during the weekend of the festival beginning Friday the 17th. Please contact DCFF for details.
