On April 18, the annual TCM Classic Film Festival kicked off in Los Angeles. The event was opened with the anniversary screening of "Pulp Fiction" — in May, the cult film by Quentin Tarantino will turn 30 years old.

The event was attended by actors who starred in the film: John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman and Harvey Keitel. Bruce Willis, who played one of the main roles, could not attend the festival due to illness - his wife and daughter came instead.

The film "Pulp Fiction" was released on big screens in 1994. In addition to Thurman, Travolta, Jackson, Keitel and Willis, it starred Tim Roth, Christopher Walken, Peter Green, Amanda Plummer and other film stars.

With a budget of $8 million, the film grossed $213.9 million internationally. Tarantino's work won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, the Saturn Award for Best Adventure, Action or Thriller, the British Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, two MTV prizes for Best Film and Best Dance, a Golden Globe and an Oscar (both for the screenplay). Samuel L. Jackson was named Best Supporting Actor by BAFTA.
