The Grindhouse Film Festival is presented by Brian Quinn and Eric Caidin at the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles and features the screening of rare 35mm prints of cult and exploitation films from the 1960s through the 1980s, many of which have not been publicly shown since the drive-ins and inner city grindhouse theaters faded away twenty years ago. For one low price attendees get two rare films, a reel of rare exploitation trailers, a free raffle, and very often appearances by the directors, cast and crew of the films being shown.
In addition to our events in Los Angeles, we also do special screenings in other cities from time to time (Las Vegas & San Francisco so far).
Please subscribe to our blog to be notified of events and updates, as event invites have not been working for us on this profile for many months. Hey MySpace, spend some money on fixing things!

Special Midnight Adult Show!
Join us as we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the New Beverly Cinema with a special program of vintage 1970's XXX footage from the attic. And we really mean from the attic, as the Beverly was an adult theater before becoming Sherman Torgan's New Beverly Cinema in May 1978 and during a recent renovation we found a bunch of old 35mm reels!

A Great Article About the Grindhouse Film Festival
Some 2005 Grindhouse reviews, filtered through chemicals and alcohol:
January / February / March / April / May
Thanks to Bob, Sage and Dave at Grindhouse Releasing for all the support. These events wouldn't have lasted as long without their help (and prints & trailer reels).
Thanks also to the companies who have supported us.
Please visit their websites and let them know we sent you.
Note to filmmakers: We'd love to have you as a 'friend', just realize that we are not a traditional film festival and we do not take submissions (unless you made your film between 1965 and 1985 and it features hungry zombies, crazed bikers, naked women, etc.).
Also, we love comments but please try to keep them somewhat related to our event and the type of films we screen. Feel free to plug your film or event if it's related to grindhouse cinema, but no large advertisements for your company that has nothing to do with our event. Thanks!
