Hadrian Belove is not one to rest on his laurels. After founding Cinefile Video , Los Angeles’ temple of DVD, Hadrian began parlaying his unbelievably wide-ranging knowledge of and enthusiasm for movies into The Cinefamily at The Silent Movie Theater . Once pretty much what it sounds like- a repertory theater showing silent movies- Cinefamily has transformed the Silent Movie Theater into an internationally renowned cinema destination that’s known for its wildly eclectic programming , original content, crazy patio parties, and excellent in-depth Q&A s. This weekend Cinefamily is mounting its most ambitious project yet: Cinefamily’s Fantastic Elastic 24-Hour Holiday Telethon , a 24-hour star-studded event with guests like Benicio Del Toro , Spike Jonze , Doug Benson and even Robert Forster on hand to raise money for the theater. The Cinefamily is a nonprofit and depends on memberships for support, making the telethon both a celebration of their successes and a deciding factor of their future. Hadrian truly has a vision for how to bring movie theaters into the internet age, one that includes both online events and expanding the Family into a national network of theaters. True to this spirit, Cinefamily will be live streaming the entire 24-hour telethon on its website , so even if you don’t live in LA, you can still be part of the Family. Check out the full telethon schedule here, and read our in-depth interview with Hadrian Belove after the jump!
