This year's festival runs from September 23 to October 8.
Film festival season is in full swing, and Beyond Fest is coming in swinging with one of the biggest genre festival lineups of the year. They’ve just announced their full list of titles for this year’s festival running from September 23 to October 8, including ninety feature films across three theatres, presented by NEON and programmed and produced in partnership with American Cinematheque.
Park Chan-wook will open the festival with his newest film, No Other Choice, and closing night honors go to Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia, starring Emma Stone. Major premieres also include Bryan Fuller’s Dust Bunny, Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune, Black Phone 2, Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, and If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. International titles making their way to this year’s festival include It Was Just an Accident, The Secret Agent, Sirāt, and Radu Jude’s take on Dracula, and action cinema karate chops its way to the Egyptian Theatre with The Furious, Sisu: Road to Revenge, and Deathstalker.
“We’re incredibly proud to push Beyond Fest’s scope, encompassing some of the world’s best filmmakers; it’s a celebration of cinema without borders or compromise that embodies both the festival and the American Cinematheque,” said Chris LeMaire, American Cinematheque Senior Film Programmer. “Bringing together the work of auteurs such as Jafar Panahi, Bi Gan, Radu Jude, Yorgos Lanthimos, Oliver Laxe, and Kleber Mendonça Filho, we’ve captured some of the most exciting and visionary cinema the world has to offer.”
