Cinespia begins their summer screenings
The summer cemetery screenings have begun! Cinespia announced the first three films they’ll be hosting at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery (6000 Santa Monica Boulevard). The lineup begins with Billy Wilder’s Ace in the Hole on May 24th, but on the third weekend of this weekly event, Cinespia is presenting Tony Scott’s 1983 bloodsucker film The Hunger, starring David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve.
If you live in the area and have never heard of the cemetery screenings, the way it works is this: You show up at 7:30pm – bringing blankets, low lawn chairs, grub and drinks – you set up camp, wait for the sun to set then watch a film projected on the side of a massive mausoleum. I saw Dario Argento’s Suspiria last year and it was a kick. The great thing is that the organizers are horror fans so it’s likely we’ll be seeing a few more cult classics on the schedule in the coming months.
We’ll do our best to keep you updated, of course. Admission price, or the suggested “donation,” is $10. Parking in the cemetery is $5, but if you arrive early, you may find luck finding a free spot in the surrounding neighborhood.
