Beyond Fest has announced its full slate of 2015 programming, featuring 25 events that will bring some of the year’s biggest festival hits and some of cinema’s most legendary genre films together in Los Angeles. Presented by Shudder, Beyond Fest will take place October 1-12 at Hollywood’s Egyptian Theatre returns to Hollywood’s famed Egyptian Theatre to generate funds for co-presenter American Cinematheque.
Highlights from the 2015 lineup include 18 Los Angeles premieres, such as the Tom Hardy-starring “Legend” and the Cannes-winning martial arts epic “The Assassin,” as well as special events like a 35mm double feature of “Evil Dead” presented by Bruce Campbell and Edgar Wright. Other guests set to attend the event include Brett Ratner, Henry Rollins, Shepard Fairey, Fabio Frizzi and Al Pacino for a special presentation of “Dog Day Afternoon.”
“We’re just relieved that a film institution as revered as the American Cinematheque let us come back,” said Beyond Fest Co-Founder, Christian Parkes. “Last year, guests were whipped, they vomited and snorted snuff en masse, it was bedlam. With this lineup I’m proud to say it’s going to be even bigger.”
