WELCOME to the 13th Annual Dances With Films Festival!!

Well, the day we've been working toward for many months has finally arrived! Today is the FIRST day of the 13th Annual Dances With Films Festival! Almost 100 features, shorts, docs, narratives and music videos from all over the world will be screening, celebrated and discovered. Here's to another fantastic year of movies...

Here's Today's Agenda at a glance:

4:30 - 7:30pm: Opening Night Party kicking off DWF 13! This is a "meet the filmmaker" event for filmmakers, press and industry. An advance RSVP is required. Unlike where the Closing Night Party will be - space is limited...so if you are bringing an "entourage" - please let us know ahead of time.

Two Minute Two Step
Shooting Today: YOU'VE LOST YOUR LONG TERM MEMORY shoots today from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. It will screen tomorrow at 7:15pm in front of the feature: SOLITARY. Shooting will take place in the Filmmakers Lounge directly across from the theatre (on the second floor inside of 8000 Sunset).

8pm: Opening Night Film - FEED THE FISH –Alumni Spotlight

A burned-out writer has a mid-life crisis. With his career at a standstill & his relationship in shambles, he leaves Los Angeles to do the Polar Bear Plunge. On his quest he tests the icy waters of Lake Michigan on a snowy winter day & finds his lost passion.

8000 Sunset Plaza

A quick note about signage, etc. at 8000 Sunset. The Plaza has been incredible

in welcoming Dances With Films once again, but please remember to be respectful

with regard to any signage. We will have a "board" on the main floor (below the

theatre) to put up flyers, etc....however, please do not put signage anywhere else

in the Plaza. It will only be taken down...so we ask you for your cooperation.

Parking at 8000 Sunset Plaza

There is plenty of parking at the theatre - but make sure that you get your

tickets validated at Laemmle Theatres (a validation is 3 hours). If you are

planning on staying for the day -

in order to avoid paying an enormous parking

fee - you will need to rotate your car.
