The Albuquerque Film & Media Experience (AFME) at Nob Hill has announced musician Thomas Dolby will open the week-long festival starting Monday, June 3, 2013 at the historic Lobo Theater. He will be showing excerpts of his first film, 'The Invisible Lighthouse,' to gauge audience reaction, fine tune the movie edits and get ready for the project’s completion later in 2013. Dolby will be discussing his learning experience on a Q&A panel and then perform live in front of a standing-room-only crowd.

"I am delighted to join the hordes of filmmakers and film fans that will be attending AFME”, said Thomas Dolby. “I know this is one of the foremost film festivals in the Southwest, and feel honored that I have been invited to take part on opening night."

“Kicking off AFME with Thomas Dolby is very exciting for music fans of any age who love his smash hit ‘She Blinded Me With Science'”, said Lainie S. Quirk, Executive Producer of AFME. “The huge fan base in Albuquerque and AFME attendees can expect to see a spectacular night of musical performance and ingenuity that only Dolby can deliver.”

AFME All Access and Ultimate All Access pass holders are invited to the movie screening, concert and exclusive “Thomas Dolby After Party” at Imbibe. There will be random drawings on the Albuquerque Film & Media Experience Facebook page for a chance to win the full Thomas Dolby Experience. Individual tickets for the movie and concert will be available online at AFME’s website or through Hold My Ticket.

The Thomas Dolby performance is presented by AFME, Clear Channel’s 100.3 The Peak, Music Go Round, Local IQ, Howard Wulkan of HSW Music – The Lab, Larry Michaels Photography and Patrick Andrews of the band 44-Forty.

Other major events during AFME include a screening of the Dalai Lama documentary Road to Peace, An Evening with Robert Redford, AFME’s Taste of Film Event, A Night of Performance Art with Sibylle Szaggars-Redford and David Thor Jonsson and four world premiere movies.
