Guanajuato Film Festival: Roger Corman in Mexico Eric Ortiz Garcia - Twitch
go to original July 19, 2014

The Guanajuato International Film Festival has revealed all the details for its upcoming seventeenth edition, which is going to be celebrated from Friday, July 25 to Sunday, August 3. This is one of Mexico's top festivals and this year's lineup turned out to be both exciting and surprising, especially thanks to the fact that GIFF is paying homage to B movie king Roger Corman.



Producer of Death Race 2000, Piranha, Forbidden World, and hundreds others; director of such films as Attack of the Crab Monsters, The Little Shop of Horros, and The Pit and the Pendulum; and mentor of several consolidated directors, including Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, and Jonathan Demme; Roger Corman is quite simply a living film legend.

At age 88, Corman is coming to a Mexican festival for the first time. Guanajuato confirmed a masterclass by him (on Saturday, August 2), and a retrospective conformed of both Corman directed and produced movies (plus a doc on his career). This is the complete Roger Corman program at GIFF:
