![Valley Film Festival<br />Greetings from the (818):](/blog_images/webp/7316main.png.webp?v=1721771629)
It's that time of year again! The 24th Annual Valley Festival is fast approaching and we look forward to seeing you 8-1-8 (August 1-8) in the (818). Tickets are on sale now.
Cool down with a screening or two, meet filmmakers from all over the world, and enjoy the world's best movie popcorn -- all in the comfort of an air-conditioned theatre.
With the future of the Laemmle NoHo7 uncertain, this may be VFF's final festival in North Hollywood. We ask that you continue to support your local art house theatres and film festivals, including the 24th Annual Valley Film Festival.
Today we're spotlighting our feature films and encourage you to jump over to our website to browse all of our events taking place in the coming weeks.
