Our programming reflects downtown L.A.’s vibrant+ unique cultural diversity, its burgeoning independent film community, its singular blend of late 19th and 20th century architecture, and the seminal role it played in the early days of American cinema (epitomized by the world’s largest group of vintage movie palaces located in the Broadway Theater District). Set against this dramatic backdrop, DTLAFF serves as a beacon for movie fans and industry professionals throughout Southern California and beyond. Downtown Film Festival L.A. is Los Angeles’ premiere independent film festival.
