Nick Clement The Newport Beach Film Festival is attracting more interest from Hollywood as it opens its 23rd edition Oct.
13. The festival, which runs through Oct. 20 will feature a battalion of acclaimed films and attract talent for its numerous awards.
This year’s opening night screening is the Daniel Radcliffe-led biopic “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” while the closing night selection is “Glass Onion,” which is Rian Johnson’s hotly anticipated follow-up to “Knives Out,” a big critical and box office success in 2019. “We’re seeing all of the major studios and distribution companies seeking to work with us, as they understand the many benefits and opportunities of screening at festivals that are growing, and bringing in an enthusiastic crowd to their films,” says CEO and co-founder Gregg Schwenk.
Other standout titles that are confirmed for the festival include: “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “The Lost King,” “The Good Nurse,” “Corsage,” “White Noise,” “Joyride,” “Bardo,” “Broker,” “Taurus,” “Armageddon Time,” “Empire of Light,” “My Policeman,” “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Devotion,” “Argentina” and “Women Talking.” The festival, which at its peak attracted more than 60,000 attendees to Orange County and spreads out its screenings at venues throughout the city, is the largest international cinema event in coastal Southern California.
