Fennessey Fest is a week-long guest programming takeover from the mind of Sean Fennessey (Head of Content at The Ringer, Host of The Big Picture Show, and frequent guest on The Rewatchables). We gave him a prompt for four different films: One of his “all-timers” (THE LONG GOODBYE, screening Nov 19 & 20), his favorite cult film (THE BIG LEBOWSKI, screening Nov 15 & 17), a movie that he thinks needs a re-examination (UNDER THE SILVER LAKE, screening Nov 21), and a movie he loved from his childhood (WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT, screening Nov 18). These four films (consciously or unconsciously) together yielded a very specific series theme: LA-set neo-noirs. Before each screening, there will be an exclusive introduction pre-recorded by Mr Fennessey, with the exception of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT, which will have an in-person introduction as well as a meet-and-greet after the screening.
