The survival thriller from Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer is set for an October 1 screening and filmmaker Q&A.

The Swallow , directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, is scheduled for its West Coast premiere at Beyond Fest on October 1 at 10 p.m. Los Angeles time. The 82-minute film screens at the MUBI Theatre at the Aero, with a Q&A listed for both filmmakers. Beyond Fest describes a group of friends crossing a fence for an

off-grid camping and swimming trip. They lose their way as the forest around them appears to turn hostile; Grace Van Dien plays Ziggy. The setup puts a survival story in a landscape that becomes part of the threat. The festival listing has the screening and ticket details. The premiere remains scheduled for later

today. Headline image: Beyond Fest / The Swallow promotional still, used on the official festival listing.
