Printed calendars will be in early this week! Now we need your help to make sure they get seen - pick one up for yourself and a few for your friends!
Screenwriter Josh Olson, writer of the Oscar nominated script for David Cronenberg's 2005 film A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, will be guest curator and will appear in person together with other special guests. The week kicks off with a screening of his A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE paired with Sam Peckinpah's STRAW DOGS, and then continues with a series of films selected by Mr. Olson.
From Josh Olson:
A couple years ago, I drove past the New Beverly, and came to a screeching halt in the rain when I saw they were showing a double feature of Straw Dogs and A History of Violence. I was flattered, honored, tickled, and half a dozen other things that felt pretty damn good, and I mentioned this event many times in many forums.
So, flash forward to this year, and I am now programming said theater for a week - the second week of March, to be precise.
There's no theme to the week, save "These are movies I love," and it's a weird, hodgepodge of stuff.
I'll be there to introduce them all, and, in some cases, to talk to some of the writers responsible for them.
