About TCM's Road to Hollywood Tour
As part of the buildup to the 2013 edition to the star-studded TCM Classic Film Festival, set to take place April 25-28 in Hollywood, TCM is heading to 10 cities nationwide for a series of free screenings and live appearances by legendary stars and special guests. Cities scheduled for TCM’s Road to Hollywood tour for the remainder of 2012 include Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Orlando (Oct. 13) and Pittsburgh (Nov. 13). The rest of the cities featured as part of the Road to Hollywood tour will be announced soon.
About the 2012 TCM Classic Film Festival
The TCM Classic Film Festival launched in spring 2010 and has established itself as a destination event. Each year, the festival welcomes 25,000 movie fans from around the globe to enjoy more than a hundred screenings and events.
TCM host and film historian Robert Osborne serves as official host of the 2013 TCM Classic Film Festival, with TCM's Ben Mankiewicz also introducing various events during the festival. The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, which has a longstanding role in movie history and was the site of the first OscarsÒ ceremony, will once again serve as the official hotel for the festival, as well as a central gathering point for attendees. Screenings and events will also be held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the Chinese 6 Theatres and the Egyptian Theatre. The Hollywood Roosevelt will also offer special rates for festival attendees.
Cinematic Journeys: Travel in the Movies, the theme for the 2013 TCM Classic Film Festival, will explore how movies can carry viewers beyond their hometowns to distant or imaginary locales, where they can be transformed by great storytelling. Often, the mode of travel provides the filmic inspiration, whether it's planes, trains, or automobiles. At other times, the trip itself serves as the central narrative, as in the case of many "road movies." With Hollywood as the starting point, TCM's excursion will take festival attendees on a fascinating journey to worlds both familiar and new.
