Event Details

Founded in 2000, The Valley Film Festival, a project of Community Partners®, holds the proud title of the first film festival in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley and is designed to bring together established filmmakers, emerging talent, and their audiences on the studio backlot - just North of Hollywood.

Since it's premiere in 2001, alongside the grand reopening of Pacific Theatres at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, The Valley Film Festival has found a permanent home at the historic El Portal Theatre located in the NoHo Arts District.

Cinema so independent, it can only be found in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley. It’s so (818). Totally.

Our Vision:

First and foremost, The Valley Film Festival promotes filmmakers and production in the fabulous (818)! From the East Valley to the West Valley, no two communities are the same and each offers a unique setting for your film shoot. Our signature program, “Made in the (818)” showcases our commitment to keeping production local.
