Heavy metal parking lot to appear in MOMA documentary fortnight (or rent it from your local video store).
Heavy Metal Parking Lot: 15th Anniversary
Tour. 2001. USA. Directed by Jeff Krulik and
John Heyn. A sixteen-minute video documentary
shot in a parking lot in suburban Maryland, right
before a 1986 concert by the English hard-rock
band Judas Priest, Heavy Metal Parking Lot
vividly captures a moment in pop culture–the 1980s
version of a rock 'n' roll ritual, with kids hanging
out, getting loaded, and screaming "Priest!" at the
top of their lungs. For the fifteenth anniversary of
their popular underground success, the filmmakers
have assembled a compendium of related shorts.
Filmmaker Krulik present. 90 min.
