About Topanga Film Festival

The 7th Annual Topanga Film Festival, to be held July 28th-31st, 2011 has expanded to include a documentary film competition, 4 days of panels, workshops, networking opportunities. With hands-on demonstrations of cutting edge technology, those in attendance enjoy a user friendly, culturally creative experience.

Nominated as “one of the 25 coolest film festivals in the world” by Filmmaker Magazine, the Topanga Film Festival accepts any genre of short film into competition that challenges conventions with an original voice and point of view. The open-air festival reflects the international and eclectic taste of its community.

The community-supported festival unites for four days in July to welcome today’s most forward-thinking individuals in mainstream and alternative media to share their work with an engaged audience, hungry for content and discussions that inspire. Within a growing trend of pushing consciousness and technology to their limits as well as getting the opportunity to share and exchange points of view, the Topanga Film Festival is providing a unique experience to connect, share, and spread ideas.

Known as “the smallest festival with the biggest prize” we award prizes valued in excess of $70,000.

The Topanga Film Festival is a project of the International Humanities Center, a 501[c]3 organization.
