In addition to film screenings, The Valley Film Festival is taking over ALL3Y Studios, September 21-29, and transforming the historic space into a hub that will include live music, professional development panels, wellness seminars, a distribution market, and literary salon. A few artists that have already signed on include Wolfgang Glattes, author of “Memories of La La Land,” multi-guitar project, The String Revolution, and music supervisor Jon Houlihan (“Deadpool,” “Atomic Blonde,” “Austin Powers”). A complete schedule of events and guest speakers will be added to the festival’s website over the next week.
As seasoned veterans in L.A.’s film community, The Valley Film Festival also continues to lead by example by encouraging the use of the hashtag #UnitedByFilm on social media to bring awareness to conscious programming amongst viewers and creatives alike. “We’re thrilled to be able to offer our local and visiting filmmakers a dedicated creative space to call home,” said VFF’s founder, Tracey Adlai. “Having all of our special events at The ALL3Y allows us to emphasize the “fest” in “festival” and demonstrate how we are #UnitedByFilm, while providing filmmakers quality face-to-face time with their peers.”
The Festival remains fully committed to supporting local independent production by showcasing a record 60% made by Angelenos, Vals, and shot in or about the glamorous San Fernando Valley, while continuing to promote diverse films from around the world, with films from Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Russian Federation, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
