Separating the men from $12.00


They might do better letting people in free, then making them pay to leave.

The Grindhouse Film Festival presents:

12 hour tribute to David F. Friedman

All tickets $12

Join us at the New Beverly Cinema on Saturday, April 30th, for an incredible 12-hour tribute to our late friend Dave Friedman, the Mighty Monarch of Exploitation! Program starts at 3:00pm, and individual film start times will be posted soon. In addition to the SEVEN feature films we'll be screening from rare 35mm prints, we'll also have a selection of shorts and trailers from our pals at Something Weird Video plus special guests. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see this many rare films at one time, and also a way to thank Dave for his many years as an exploitation pioneer and supporter, so don't miss this! It's only $1 per hour of programming, by far the best entertainment bargain in LA, and we'll be providing wristbands to attendees so you can take a dinner break or come and go as you please. Spread the word and help us celebrate the life and work of one of the giants of the world of exploitation film!
