TCM Classic Film Festival Announcements

In August Turner Classic Movies announced the dates and theme for the 2020 TCM Classic Film Festival.

The 2020 theme is "Grand Illusions: Fantastic Worlds on Film," and the festival will take place in Hollywood from April 16th through 19th.

Today TCM announced that passes will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, November 21st.

Information about pass pricing may be found in my August post or at the festival website.

I note that the Palace Pass does not state which theaters are included, but instead lists what's not included, including the Chinese 6 Multiplex and Club TCM. My assumption is thus that it's probably not yet known if the Egyptian Theatre will be available for the festival if the proposed sale to Netflix is concluded, but I have no additional information on that angle.

The first eight movie titles were also announced today. They include LOST HORIZON (1947), THE BISHOP'S WIFE (1947), HARVEY (1950), and SOMEWHERE IN TIME (1980).

Visit the festival website's films page for the complete list. Additional titles will be added to the films page over the next few months, so keep checking that link.

I'm looking forward to another great festival in Hollywood next spring!
