The New Haven Underground Film Festival has released the first round of films picked for their 2007 screenings. The festival will run on the night of May 12 from 6:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Update: Will start an hour earlier at 5:30 p.m.

This initial batch of feature film selections are all music oriented:

Get Thrashed, dir. Rick Ernst
Stomping Grounds
We Like to Drink: We Like to Play Rock ‘n’ Roll, dir. Lexi Shabel
Wasted Orient, dir. Kevin Fritz

In addition, some of the short films that will be screening are: Chi, Chingaso the Clown, Dartsville, Detroit Unleaded, La Danse Macabre: Portrait of a Serial Sculptor and The Little Gorilla.

I’ll provide film descriptions and the actual screening lineup when NHUFF gives that info out, probably just after May 1 or thereabouts.
