DIRT IN THE GATE MOVIES are back for its FOURTH, TWO DAY fun filled cinematic extravaganza of classic genre movies… Welcome to GRINDFEST 2022!
Our search of film archives the world over leaves no film can unopened to bring rare 35mm prints out of the darkness and are thrilled to screen them on the big screen in their original native release format!
