Montreal, Canada -- The River by ambient-world, pop duo Kin Za Za was selected as one of 50 music videos for the 2nd Annual Indie Music Video Festival (www.imvf.com). The duo beat out artists, musicians and videographers from Canada, the U.S., U.K., Australia, Norway, and Germany to be included in the two-day festival touring through Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Seattle, Washington DC, Hamilton (ON) and Los Angeles.

"Kin Za Za were selected for the visual impact of the video and on the strength of the song, The River," said Festival Directors Nicole Steen.

'"Our activities as musicians, coupled with our life-long interest in filmmaking, placed us in touch with our personal merger of image, tone and rhythm," explained duo member and Director Dimitri Soukonnov. "We wanted to create a lyrical, romantic and melancholic flow of life imagery as perceived by a dreaming person."

"The River"is based on a personal sonic visualization of the Tibetan Book Of The Dead," influenced in part by conversations by Dimitri with actual monks in the southeast region of Siberia who practiced a form of shamanic Buddhism.

The next stop on the festival's, presented by Justice Through Music is on Saturday November 15 at the American Film Institute Silver Theater on Silver Spring, Maryland.
