In 2009, Chicago musician Josh Chicoine teamed up with filmmaker Ilko Davidov and launched their first Chicago International Movies and Music Festival, or CIMMFest. The festival is what it says; an event where movies and music are intimately intertwined.  A  feature about three Brazilians who travel to India to break into the Bollywood industry, a look at how Ugandan kids use hip hop and break dancing for empowerment and  documentary about Transylvanian folk music are just a few of the many entries of CIMMFest 2011.

 Since its inaugural edition in 2009 festival director Josh Chicoine has stopped by  Radio M for a festival preview and this year is no different. We’ll play some clips, and of course plenty of music related to the festival.
