LA Film Fest: Day 10

We need to hear from you.
Today during our spring member drive, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

The weekend is here so lots of free stuff is on tap for the L.A. Film Festival. The Festival Promenade on Broxton will be taken over by Family Day activities. There'll be screenings, games, giveaways, pony rides, a petting zoo, magician Ryan Majestic and characters from Playhouse Disney to entertain the kiddies. Events will run from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Two free programs will be held at Bel Air Camera today. At 1:00 p.m. it's Tech Talk: Master Celebrity Photographer: Harry Langdon and at 4:00 p.m. it's Tech Talk: Adobe Creative Suite 3. A cool program is also being hosted by the Italian Cultural Institute at 1:30 p.m. It's Behind the Curtain with ILM: A Talk with Scott Farrar. Scott has done visual effects for scores of movies and has been nominated for three Oscars, winning for his visual effects work on Cocoon. A screening of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? will follow the talk.
