The fabled history and modern-day perspective of automobiles and motorcycles on screen will be celebrated during Monterey Historics weekend, as World Class Motoring and Islay Events present the second annual AutoMoto International Film & Arts Festival.
Taking place August 14th thru the 17th at Monterey’s iconic Golden State Theater and the Monterey Marriott, the four-day exhibition will be highlighted by a packed schedule of full- and short-length films, documentaries and webisodes, chronicling significant milestones in automotive and motorcycling history, and the lifestyle that accompanies it.
An extensive list of filmmakers, authors, artists, automotive and motorcycle industry dignitaries and special guests will be on hand during the four-day event. This year’s program will include films, documentaries and shorts submitted for judging from a worldwide base of both experienced and novice filmmakers.
The preliminary schedule includes feature films such as the classic Grand Prix, starring James Garner; Faith Granger’s The Deuce of Spades, and an encore performance of last year’s favorite epic Formula One documentary, 1. This year’s expanded program will also include motorcycle films, such a Peter Starr’s Take It To The Limit, as well as the ultimate Bonneville speed record documentary, World’s Fastest Motorcycle.
“Building on the momentum from last year’s inaugural festival, we’re excited to expand our presentation to include daytime screenings of films at the Marriott Hotel in conjunction with Rick Cole Auctions,” said World Class Motoring President Fred LoBianco. “We’re also proud to introduce ‘Expo AutoMoto,’ a gathering of unique brand partners, which will be on display at the Marriott.” For more information visit www.automotivefilmfestival.com
