History

[edit]

The festival was founded in 2008[1][2] and the venue used is the Regal Cinemas at L.A. Live.[3][4] The Grammy Museum helped sponsor the festival in 2009.[5] As of 2018, the festival is the largest film and television event in the downtown area.[6] Some of the feature films that screened that year previously debuted at Tribeca Festival, South by Southwest and Sundance Film Festival.[6] The festival was previously known as Downtown Film Festival Los Angeles (DFFLA).[5][7][8]

Since 2019, Greg Ptaceck has managed the festival which showcased over 100 films that year, most of which were directed by women.[3] Recipients of the Independent Film Pioneer Award include Laura Dern, Kathy Griffin, John Hawkes, William H. Macy, Virginia Madsen, John C. Reilly, Julie Delpy and Mark Ruffalo.[6]
