2015 TCM Classic Film Festival sets 'History According to Hollywood' theme

The TCM Classic Film Festival have set the dates for their annual festival. The four day weekend event is set for March 26 – March 29, 2015 in Hollywood. The theme for the 2015 TCM Classic Film Festival will be “History According to Hollywood.”

The Old West. Medieval England. Ancient Rome. Hollywood has found endless inspiration in re-creating historical moments and bringing to life the heroes and villains of the past, creating a form of time travel for audiences through the ages and around the world. These films, however, are not always true to the historical record. Filmmakers have often created works about the past that are a reflection of the period in which they were made, or change facts to suit a particular storyline. The 2015 TCM Classic Film Festival will explore how cinema has shaped how we view – and remember – history.

Robert Osborne  and Ben Mankiewicz will once be on hand as official host and special introductions, respectively. The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel is also the festival’s official hotel and central gathering point and will also offer special rates for festival attendees.

Screenings and events during the festival will be held at the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX, the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres and the Egyptian Theatre, as well as other Hollywood venues.
