MISSION & OBJECTIVE
Silver Lake Film Festival began in 2000 to address the lack of opportunity for independent filmmakers in Los Angeles. Although it has grown into an international event, SLFF stays true to their grassroots origins and their commitment to indie film; they continue to have a hipster vibe and proudly embrace filmmaking defined by personal vision, rather than by committee.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Silver Lake Film Festival 2006 screened over 200 independent films and hosted the Los Angeles premiere of David Mamet’s new dark comedy EDMOND, starring William H. Macy, Julia Stiles, Joe Montegna and Bai Ling. SLFF also celebrated the uber independence of the year’s honorees — pioneering filmmaker Rob Nilsson, actor/writer/director Julie Delpy and iconoclastic artist Bad Otis Link. Audiences were treated to Q&As with celebrity guest curators k.d. lang, wild man Bobcat Goldthwait and John Doe of the legendary band X; as well as the debut of the festival within a festival, MP4Fest, highlighting new digital cinematic art forms. And as usual, SLFF presented dozens of cutting-edge art, music, and other entertainment events and parties, parties, parties.
SLFF uses multiple venues along Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Los Angeles, including the ArcLight Cinemas (LA’s premier multiplex), the historic Vista Theatre, and other theater venues, galleries, and leading alternative nightclubs (for MusicFest, the music component of our festival.)
