"One of the 25 coolest film festivals in the world" - Filmmaker Magazine

The Topanga Film Festival programs short and feature films that challenge convention and tell stories that inspire new and original ways of seeing and understanding the world. Based in the beautiful, atmospheric surroundings of Topanga, TFF screens films to a unique and engaged Los Angeles community in an intimate setting – attendees include those in the film and music industry, environmentalists, foodies and the eccentric Topangan community.

After the successful launch of the Topanga Film Institute and CoLab space, TFF enters a new phase in its history, offering film makers and cinephiles a unique space to delve deeper into exploring visual storytelling methods and technologies, formats and styles. The Topanga Film Festival is a prime opportunity to enjoy a wealth of international and local content that ranges from creative to educationally empowering. This festival showcases the possibilities of filmmaking at all levels.

We will display a selection of short films that go deep and push boundaries. We are looking for the best in short narratives, and documentary films that display curiosity and skill, and that surprise and inform us.

A Jury Prize will be awarded to the best film.

A number of past filmmakers have seen their films acquired for distribution, and/ or gone on to receive critical acclaim and Academy Awards.

Audience and Jury Prizes are presented.
