Today the Los Angeles Film Festival announced the addition of two new sections for the 2015 Festival, Zeitgeist and Nightfall (which we revealed exclusively last night).

The Los Angeles Film Festival runs June 10 through June 18 and the full Festival line up will be announced on May 5.

“We created Nightfall to celebrate films that will make audiences squirm,” Jennifer Cochis, Senior Programmer had this to say about the Nightfall section. “Ranging from the creepy to the sinister, homages to 80s and 90s era horror, psychodramas and waking nightmares.”

Films premiering for the first time in the U.S. are nominated for the Nightfall Award!

From the bizarre to the horrifying, these are films to watch after dark.

As the night progresses, the building, Cooper, and a vagrant in the area (Mark Margolis) toy with her sadistically. Her curiosity to find the truth leads her on a dangerous path into the depths of the building, where she becomes trapped in the dark catacombs of the structure and her sanity is terrorized.”

“‘Crumbs’ is set against the background of spectacular post-apocalyptic Ethiopian landscapes, where the film finds a strange-looking scrap collector, Gagano (played by the charismatic Daniel Tadesse). Alternately gripped by daydreams and constant fears, the diminutive Gagano has had enough of collecting the priceless crumbs of decayed civilization, including the most valuable: merchandise from Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan. When a spaceship that has been hovering high in the sky for years starts showing signs of activity, Gagano has to overcome his fears – as well as a witch, Santa Claus and second-generation Nazis — to discover things aren’t quite the way he thought.”
