Celebrate Community + Culture in the (818)

From the OG celebrants of (818) Day, we welcome you to connect and contribute with The Valley's first & longest-running film festival: VFF

Founded in 2000, The Valley Film Festival (VFF) is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization overseen by Community Partners.

For 24 years, VFF has been fostering community and supporting storytellers from the (818) and around the world, while furthering the education, production, and exhibition of film. We do this by:

• Having an affordable entry point ($8.18USD) so filmmakers, everywhere, can participate
• Awarding call-for-entry scholarships to filmmakers in countries affected by conflict or displaced by war
• Supporting locally produced films through our signature “Made in the (818)” program
• Mentoring filmmakers, through every stage of their careers, via our Focus On: series of panels and events
• Providing a platform, in the heart Hollywood, to showcase and share stories that matter

We welcome you to join us! Leave your social handle if you'd like a shout out!
