Anerican Cinematheque Presents ALBERT PYUN REMEMBERED: THE KING OF CULT VIDEO Coming In May

It was last November when fans of cinema great, Albert Pyun, lost one of the most pivotal and influential genre indie filmmakers of the past century. Of course it remains to be seen when the remnants of the late director’s work will be posthumously completed as Pyun’s widow, Cynthia Curnan, and her team are overseeing things right down to the finish line. For fans within proximity of the Loz Feliz Theatre in Los Angeles, however, the ceremony will no less continue with a six-film tribute hosted by the American Cinematheque from May 7 to May 25.
