Man, I would be all over this if I could swing it! Los Angeles film festival Beyond Fest will be doing a career retrospective of David Cronenberg's films with Mr. Cronenberg in attendance! There will be an all-day marathon of five of his films: SCANNERS, THE BROOD, RABID, SHIVERS, and DEAD RINGERS along with double features on other days:
Unfortunately this overlaps somewhat with my Fantastic Fest plans. The marathon is on Saturday, September 29 and I'm back in California on the 28th. I just don't think I can swing another five movie day after just doing five days of 4-5 movies each. This would be a blast, though!
