When it comes to film festivals, cinephiles have a lot to choose from. But if you’re in Los Angeles from October 30 - November 7, there’s only one film festival that will have The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus](The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) - Movie | Moviefone), The Road](The Road (2009) - Movie | Moviefone), The Fantastic Mr. Fox](Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) - Movie | Moviefone), Werner Herzog’s Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans](Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans (2009) - Movie | Moviefone), Youth in Revolt](Youth in Revolt (2009) - Movie | Moviefone), A Single Man, and tons more buzzed-about indie, foreign, and genre gems - ALL FOR FREE. That’s right, folks: AFI Fest is giving free admission for every single one of their films this year, so how can you possibly resist?
As Peter Martin wrote back in May, AFI’s groundbreaking move to free ticketing is a daring experiment. (Tickets can be reserved online and via phone starting October 16.) I suppose the rationale is that if the cost of a ticket precludes film goers from attending, why not make it even easier to participate? One look at AFI’s line-up, released yesterday, pretty much makes the decision for you.
