Held every year in multiple theaters across Los Angeles, Beyond Fest is the first of LA’s pre-award season offerings for those wanting to see new titles before they’re released. The festival is known for programming genre films as opposed to more traditional Oscar plays while having a variety of films for all types of movie lovers.
Last year’s lineup included the West Coast Premieres of films like The Banshees of Inisherin, The Menu, Decision to Leave, Triangle of Sadness, and a rare 35mm screening of Werewolf by Night, and this year’s program is just as good.
Featuring premieres, anniversary screenings, and tributes, view the official lineup for Beyond Fest 2023, taking place from September 26 - October 10:
