Downtown Los Angeles has emerged as one of America s most exciting destinations. High profile news media like The New York Times, The Washington Post, GQ, Bon Appetit and Travel & Leisure have proclaimed it a must see visit, a world-class gastronomical center and America s next great city.

Downtown Film Festival Los Angeles (DFFLA) is the only major film festival held in downtown L.A. (DTLA). Our festival is proud to have grown up beside its namesake community. Indeed, for the past eight years, the historic urban core of the Film Capital of the World has provided the ideal backdrop for our internationally recognized film and cultural event. Annually, the festival has offered dozens of film screenings, arts and entertainment activities, celebrity appearances, exhibitions, workshops and parties.the festival has earned a reputation for embracing the rich diversity of the people of DTLA. Programming is held throughout its culturally distinctive neighborhoods in venues that reflect the area s incredible and unique architecture. Early 20 th century movie palaces, artist lofts in converted warehouses, the trendiest restaurants, and posh private lounges in gleaming glass and steel high-rises are all part of the mix. Attending the festival becomes much more than just a night at the movies, but rather an adventure through DTLA s constantly changing cityscape. Los Angeles Times (April 2012) 2
