Cinespia Hosts Tim Roth-Led Screening of Pulp Fiction at Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Under a moonlit canopy, the Hollywood Forever Cemetery’s Fairbanks Lawn transformed into a cinematic amphitheater on Saturday, July 11, 2026. Cinespia’s long‑running summer series projected Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 masterpiece Pulp Fiction onto the west wall of the Cathedral Mausoleum, drawing a crowd that included actors Ava Phillippe, Dylan Minnette, and Deacon Phillippe. The event’s opening was graced by the film’s own star, Tim Roth, who took the microphone to introduce the film before the lights dimmed.
The screening is part of Cinespia’s celebrated summer lineup, which began in 2002 and has evolved into one of Los Angeles’ most beloved outdoor cinema experiences. The July schedule, announced in mid‑June, features a Fourth‑of‑July fireworks display and a series of anniversary retrospectives. After Pulp Fiction, the line‑up will see Rosemary’s Baby on July 18 and Edward Scissorhands on July 25.
Roth’s appearance was a standout moment. The actor, who portrayed Butch Coolidge in Pulp Fiction, surprised the audience by introducing the film himself—a tradition that underscores Cinespia’s commitment to inviting original cast and crew to enhance each event.
Hollywood Forever Cemetery, located at 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard, has been the venue for Cinespia’s screenings since the early 2000s. The Fairbanks Lawn, bordered by the crypts of Douglas Fairbanks and Rudolph Valentino, provides a unique backdrop for night‑time cinema. According to the cemetery’s public records, each event can accommodate up to 3,500 patrons.
This year marks Cinespia’s 25th anniversary season, presented in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video. Over the past quarter‑century, the series has expanded to more than 30 events per year, attracting audiences worldwide and cementing its reputation as a cultural touchstone that blends film, history, and community.
Pulp Fiction remains a pivotal work in cinema history, having earned the Palme d’Or at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Its enduring popularity makes it a natural fit for a starlit outdoor screening.
Tickets and further details can be found on Cinespia’s website. The organization will continue to schedule screenings throughout the summer, offering audiences a distinctive blend of classic cinema, historical ambiance, and communal experience.
