TCM is bringing back classic and vintage films to the big screen in an upcoming film festival.

Variety is reporting that Turner Classic Movies will host the TCM Classic Film Festival in Los Angeles April 22-25, in partnership with Vanity Fair.

The festival will include more than 50 screenings of vintage, film noir, and other classic films, with celebrity guests and a question and answer session. TCM has hired Telluride film fest founders Bill and Stella Pence to serve as consultants.

“There are a great many film festivals around the world, but only TCM is so perfectly poised to do something truly original when it comes to classic movies,” Stella Pence said.

Screenings of the film will be held in venues deep within Hollywood, including Grauman’s Chinese Theater and the Egyptian Theater. The Hollywood Roosevelt hotel will be the event’s official hotel and key venue for events. Robert Osborne will emcee the weeklong event.

The Turner cabler will also honor the film preservation organization, Film Foundation on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. Films that the organization has preserved will be the films to be showcased at the festival.
