Wanna go to Silver Lake Film Festival? Here's all info you might need.
The Silver Lake Film Festival (SLFF) began in 2000 to display some of the incredible film, acting, and producing talent in the City of Los Angeles. The SLFF plays a critical role in showcasing independently produced films, as many of these fantastic products are usually dwarfed by Hollywood and unseen by many. Some of the talents include actors Parker Posey, Hal Hartley, and Jonathan Dayton.
Films that are exhibited at the Silver Lake Film Festival, including short films and documentaries, often stay true to the creators’ visions instead of succumbing to commercialism and mediocrity. An example of such a film, which was also a hit at the Sundance Film Festival, is “Little Miss Sunshine.” This humorous award-winning piece was co-directed by Valerie Faris, who was an honoree at the 2007 convention of the SLFF.
One of the famous themes in 2007’s Silver Lake Film Festival is “Sustainable LA,” which focuses on the environment. It highlighted the individual contributions that every resident could make to help save the earth through indie music and film.
From 2000 to 2004, the main venue for the Silver Lake Film Festival was the remarkable Vista Theatre, which was the oldest operating free-standing theatre in all of Southern California. The festivities were then moved to ArcLight Cinemas for 2005 and 2006 in neighboring Hollywood.
