SEE IT ON 16MM Presents: 24-HOUR 16MM FILM HORROR-EXPLOITATION-THON
On July 20, 2024 (12:00 pm) through July 21, 2024 (12:00 pm) (noon to noon), the biggest film festival event on the west coast is here! See It On 16MM is proud to partner with the legendary Gardena Cinema located in the South Bay of Los Angeles, California for one hell of a 24 hour party! ALL on 16MM film!
See It On 16MM is joined again by Ciro Nieli, but this time, we have some friends joining the party. The event is co-presented / sponsored by: Cinematic Void, Creature Bazaar, Rendezvous + Severin Films, Bat City Cinema, Trash-Mex, Odyssey Film Institute, The Fold Line Poster Co., Play It By Fear, and The Frida Cinema.
The 24-HOUR HORROR-EXPLOITATION-THON will start at noon on Saturday and go straight until noon on Sunday. The first 100 attendees will receive a free exclusive gift of a See It On 16MM swag bag made for the event filled with buttons, stickers, and other goodies from all of our sponsors. The film festival line-up is kept a secret, and you will only find out what is playing by being in the audience as the film unspools off the reels and onto the gigantic screen at Gardena Cinema. Programming includes some popular horror films and exploitation films, but also some extremely rare gems. We will have surprise gifts, vendors like Severin Films + Play It By Fear selling merchandise and collectibles, and other fun surprises!
NOTE: Don’t forget to bring your pillow, blanket, and seat cushions, as it's going to be a long ride! And did we mention, FREE PARKING next to the theater? (Limited to 80 cars)
You think you have what it takes to survive the 24-hour movie marathon? Who will make it out alive? Will you keep your eyes open the whole 24 hours, or will you give into your heavy eyelids? Join us at the Gardena Cinema on July 20th to find out!
