The fifth edition of Film Maudit 2.0, a showcase and celebration of outré films, takes places June 12-16, 2024 in Los Angeles and online. 

 

Last year, Film Maudit 2.0 featured over 100 works of cinema from 20+ countries including films rarely if ever, seen in festivals: works addressing socio-political issues and taboo subject matter that challenges conventional artistic assumptions and sexual mores.

 

Screenings take place @ Highways. Included in the festival are a range of narrative, documentary and experimental films that are deliberately bold, extreme, confrontational and unusual.
 

Film Maudit 2.0 is inspired by French avant-garde filmmaker and writer Jean Cocteau who created the original Festival du Film Maudit (literally “cursed films”) in 1949 aiming to celebrate overlooked, shocking and experimental films.
