We saved the best til last. The great Nicolas Cage closes out Beyond Fest in epic style with surprise appearance at DREAM SCENARIO.

I have had the honour of hosting many of our talented guests at @BeyondFest but have to say that tonight's Q&A with Britt Ekland was one forever for the ages. What a star.
ALL OF US STRANGERS was one of the most profoundly beautiful screenings we’ve ever had. Together, we laughed, cried, openly sobbed, and came together in the darkness as we had our hearts broken by Andrew Haigh’s incredible film. See it in a theater this December.
ALL OF US STRANGERS is one of the most moving and perfect films - of not only this but any year: nuanced and complex, it explores regret, guilt and love through the prism of personal & queer history in Britain - moments of personal humour weave with loss and wonder. Must see.
In celebration of the New 4K Restoration, Director Gareth Evans makes his return to The PCC with his skull-splintering action masterpiece, THE RAID! Catch a Live Intro + Q&A on Wednesday 15th November 18:00 & 21:00.
Tickets on sale to PCC Members Tue 10th Oct 9AM!
I highly recommend the Beyond Fest screening of HOSTILE DIMENSIONS on Wednesday. A Horror/Sci-Fi joint that’s written/directed by Graham Hughes and produced by Beyond Fest’s own @EvrimErsoy! Let’s sell this one out and support our master selector. Tickets up on Wed at 9:00 am
Then a Christmas special at the @ThePCCLondon on Dec 13 - another super rare screening from us, this time of the original and best Christmas home invasion film, DIAL CODE SANTA CLAUS (aka DEADLY GAMES). Do not miss seeing this with a crowd!
Tickets here: https://t.co/sk4RaLKSzA
First up, a new midnight screening at the @riocinema on Friday, November 17th - it’s the magnificent TENEBRAE, Dario Argento’s notorious shocker and a strong candidate for the greatest, wildest Giallo ever made!

So thank you @BeyondFest. And thank you @am_cinematheque. And thank you every single person who ever came through the doors. And thank you to every single person who worked on any of the movies we have ever shown or loved. There's nothing like cinema.
This year marks my 10 year anniversary with @BeyondFest - and it was truly an honour to work on it for a whole decade, being able to celebrate cinema in a city I've come to love. Last night, screening a film I've produced and to feel the support made it even more special.
