With Robert Eggers riding high on the success of Nosferatu, which hits theaters over Christmas, Beyond Fest is partnering with American Cinematheque to bring some of his best films (as well as his newest, of course) back to the big-screen for an in-person tribute. Four films will be screened over the course of the week at American Cinematheque’s partner theaters across Los Angeles, with the director alongside some of his collaborators to look back on his work.
The retrospective kicks off with a members-only screening of Nosferatu on January 10 at 7:30PM at the Aero Theatre, which will be followed by a Q&A with Eggers. After that comes a screening of The Witch at the Egyptian Theatre at 7PM on January 11, where Eggers will be joined by costume designer Linda Muir, production designer Craig Lathrop, and cinematographer Jarin Blaschke.
The last two screenings will take place at Los Feliz 3, with The Northman showing at 10:00PM on January 12, and The Lighthouse screening at the same time on January 18. Only American Cinematheque members have access to the Nosferatu screening, but tickets for the rest of the screenings are available now on their website.
Only having been in theaters for a week, Nosferatu, which stars Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, and Willem Dafoe, has already surpassed $50 million dollars at the global box office, and is the highest grossing movie of Eggers’ career domestically. The film also has the highest audience score of all Eggers’ films on Rotten Tomatoes, despite its critics score being lower than the rest. Eggers has also confirmed that a director’s cut of the remake will also be available once the film eventually hits Blu-ray.
Nosferatu is playing now in theaters. Tickets for the Robert Eggers retrospective are available on American Cinematheque’s website.
