Beyond Fest

Beyond Fest is the highest attended genre film festival in the U.S. and exists to serve the genre community of Los Angeles, with an annual Fall festival and year-round special screenings & premieres in partnership with the American Cinematheque (The Egyptian Theatre, Aero Theatre, Mission Tiki Drive-in). Beyond Fest is built in partnership with American Cinematheque and Death Waltz Recording Co. Beyond Fest’s mindbending designs courtesy of Bianca Parkes. A not-for-profit entity, Beyond Fest raises funds for the 501C3 non-profit film institution, American Cinematheque. Its favorite film is Jaws. Beyond Fest is seeking exemplary genre short films (20 minutes or under) and genre feature films that are truly beyond in terms of content and form, with a particular interest in the categories of horror, dark comedy, and/or mindbending films that defy description from around the world. Send your boldest, gnarliest, most excellent work.
