Winter film festival: Sound Unseen

What began as an underground film festival in 1999 has evolved into a year-round pageant of music, film, new media and art. Its main claim to fame is hosting local premieres of music-based films including "Anvil: The Story of Anvil," "Inni" (Sigur Ros), "Color Me Obsessed" (The Replacements) and "This Is Not a Show" (R.E.M.). Sound Unseen hosts screenings the second Wednesday of each month at the Trylon Microcinema, and a five-day film marathon beginning the second Wednesday in October at multiple venues in northeast Minneapolis.
