The Hollywood Horror, Sci-Fi
and Fantasy Festival™
The Hollywood
Film Festival® will mark its triumphant
return to the state-of-art
Arclight Theatres in Hollywood for a ninth
annual, weeklong series of screenings,
competitions, awards, and other unique festivities.
The HOLLYWOOD
FILM FESTIVAL announces its alliance
with FILM THREAT and Chris Gore, as well as this
year's special focus on celebrating Genre Cinema.
"We are honored to have
Chris Gore and Film Threat joining us, so that
we can recognize the great film contribution
of genre filmmakers to the past, present and
future of cinema by showcasing their work at
the HOLLYWOOD HORROR, SCI-FI and FANTASY FESTIVAL™," festival
founder Carlos de Abreu said.
The Hollywood Horror,
Sci-Fi and Fantasy Festival™ is comprised
of the HOLLYWOOD HORROR, SCI-FI and FANTASY SHOWCASE™,
which will be featuring both films from emerging
filmmakers and film masters, and special events
and parties that will celebrate and honor genre
filmmaking and it will take place during the
Hollywood Film Festival — October 24, 25 and 26. "Film festivals have always been very supportive
of alternative and fringe indies. Unfortunately,
genre films of the sci-fi, fantasy and horror
genre often get left out of festival programs.
How will we discover the next Peter Jackson if
festivals do not support young filmmakers who
create fantastic visions? Teaming with Carlos
de Abreu and the Hollywood Film Festival will
be a great way to showcase the best new work
from indie genre filmmakers. I am ecstatic that
Film Threat will be involved in the selection
process and helping get this next generation
of filmmakers much needed exposure," said
Film Threat founder, Chris Gore.
"The Hollywood Film Festival is very proud
of its diverse programming. In the past, our
premieres have included films from DreamWorks,
Lions Gate Films, Miramax and Paramount Classics,
among other distributors, and quality films from
independent producers from all over the world," de
Abreu concluded.
Last year's festival
was a smashing success, attracting over 25,000
movie goers and saw extensive coverage in all
the major local and national publications,
including "USA Today," "The
New York Times," "Los Angeles Times," "People," "The
Hollywood Reporter," "Daily Variety," " Screen
International," "US Weekly" and "Newsweek," and
was seen on national broadcasts of "Access
Hollywood," "Entertainment Tonight," E!
Entertainment," "Extra," ABC,
CBS, CNN, NBC and FOX.
