Beyond Fest 2020 officially runs fromOctober 2throughOctober 8,2020, but there will actually be a special event before that on September 24, where attendees will be able to see a double feature ofBrandon Cronenberg’s hyper-violent body horror filmPossessorwithJohn Frankenheimer’s 1966 sci-fi movieSeconds.
“We specifically wanted to give COVID-19 a resilient middle finger and provide a safe, communal respite for filmmakers and film fans to celebrate the best genre cinema on the biggest screens possible,” said Beyond Fest Co-Founder Christian Parkes, explaining why they chose to host the event at a drive-in facility.
