Film Fest Travel: LA's Festival Is Naturally Star-Studded
There's a reason the Los Angeles Film Festival hasn't taken its place among similar Cannes, Toronto, Berlin and Venice events: It's two gala screenings honor soon-to-be blockbusters instead of obscure Tanzanian documentaries, and rather than herald the anniversary of a Godard pick, it's holding an anniversary event for that '80s classic "The Lost Boys." Yep, this fest has a short memory, just like the town it's in.
Actually, snobs and schlubs alike will find something to love at the festival, which runs June 19 through 28. Catch new summer movies "Wanted" and "Hellboy 2" before they hit theatres, or camp out for David Duchovny to come in and reveal the secrets behind the new "X-Files" film.
Most individual tickets are $12, but you can find some screenings for as little as five bucks. If you wanna go the VIP route, the Industry Pass will get you into everything, including the opening and closing night soirees. Good thing, too: It'll cost you $600.
