After 25 years The Valley Film Festival is evolving to quarterly one-day screenings. The first of 2 free screenings of its signature “Made in the (818)” program of films will take place on Tuesday August 18th at the Laemmle NoHo7 in North Hollywood, CA. The program will feature 10 short films produced in the (818) area code with the lineup showcasing work created across the San Fernando Valley including Agoura Hills, Burbank, Chatsworth, North Hollywood, Northridge, Sherman Oaks, Sylmar, Tarzana, Van Nuys & Woodland Hills. The screenings will be offered free to the public through the support of a grant from the NoHo Neighborhood Council. Tracey Adlai, Valley Film Festival founder stated, “For 26 years, The Valley Film Festival has believed that the (818) offers a landscape that not only supports important storytelling & talent, but that our Valley communities can be adapted to double as worldwide locations. At a time when our industry is working to keep productions, jobs & creative talent in Los Angeles, we are proud to continue to celebrate filmmakers who are already contributing to supporting local businesses.” David Krouse, the Festival’s Co-Producer concluded, “The ‘Made in the (818)’ short film program is what drew me to The Valley Film Festival in 2015 & why I return each year. This signature program launched my film exhibition career & I’m excited for VFF to continue its mission supporting independent filmmakers.” Founded in 2000 The Valley Film Festival is the first & continuously running film festival in the San Fernando Valley. The all-volunteer nonprofit arts project of Community Partners supports local & international voices that advance storytelling while furthering the education, production & exhibition of film.
