Hadrian Belove: Cinefamily’s Head Programmer in attendance

We’re firm believers in “Every movie is interesting for at least its first five minutes”, those fascinating moments when you’re still entering the new world a film presents you, and trying to figure out what the hell’s going on. What we’re gonna do is choose fifteen movies you’ve likely never seen before (with most, if not all the films unavailable on DVD), line ‘em up, and only show you the first five minutes of each, not counting their opening credits. After all that, you, the audience, gets to vote on which film out of the fifteen we all then watch in its entirety.

Critical reception for the Cinefamily:

“Simply breathtaking in its scope and ambition” – Peter Martin, Cinematical.com

“Makes movie-going an event,  with mega-rare film screenings, musical performances, crazed clip compilations &  backyard barbeques.” – LAist.com

“the sheer ambition is hard to overstate…a climate-altering event for Los Angeles moviegoers.”
– LA WEEKLY

“A die-hard movie fan’s wet dream.”
– PAPER MAG
