Idyllwild Film Festival is responsible for staging regular cinema events in and around our town of Idyllwild, California. Since 1997, we have had weekly cinema showings, which we affectionately called Cafe Cinema. We have have employed both large and small venues to show a tremendous variety of films, old and new, domestic and international. If you are interested in keeping in touch with us, please SUBSRIBE to our Email Announcement List. We will occasionally notify you by email of any news or updates concerning our regular festival of films events.

-- EVENT FRIDAY, JAN 29, 2010 -- Our next film event is the 1945 classic film noir from England, DEAD OF NIGHT. DEAD OF NIGHT (1945) is a very scary HORROR film from Alberto Cavalcanti. There is not much blood but your back will have a major tingle throughtout the film. A collection of four stories, the film centers around a architect who's suffering from deja vu while visiting a country house. He is forced to listen to the guests' stories about their own paranormal experiences and the nightmares begin. The film shown at the Green Cafe Theatre at the corner of Saunders Meadow and Highway 243 and is directly across from the Elementary School. Showtime is at 7:00 PM.

-- EVENT FRIDAY, JAN 8, 2010 -- THE WOMAN ALONE (1936) is a very underated THRILLER from the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. Even in 1936, England was suspicious of Hitler's military machine. British filmmakers began making films warning England's citizens of the dangers that lurk in Germany. In THE WOMAN ALONE, Nazis have infiltrated England and plan to destroy much of its industrial infrastructure. The government is keen to this, and through extremely clever means, attempt to trap the Nazis. Hitchcock manages to keep us at the edge of our seats throughout in this seldom seen early thriller.

-- EVENT WEDNESDAY, DEC 16, 2009 -- When I was growing up, it was fairly common for me to watch a film starring Fred MacMurray. After all, he was in alot of Disney flicks and there were the reruns of MY THREE SONS. If my dad checked out what I was watching, he would break out with his "You know, I discovered HIM" routine. Dad's story went something like this. While my dad was a radio announcer in New York City, when he took breaks, he would let the janitor cover the mike for a bit. Well, the janitor was Fred MacMurray and my dad, and apparently quite o few of his listeners (who wrote in) thought he was hysterically funny with his no-nonsense and well-intentioned delivery.
