HOW DO YOU
DOWNTOWN?
The Arts District, 7+FIG, Chinatown, Bunker Hill, Olvera Street, the Fashion District, South Park...
Downtown Film Festival — L.A. is as multi-faceted as its namesake location. Plugging into the downtown vibe is easy. Just choose your muse below & let it be your guide:
Fiercely Independent
For fans of independent cinema, the choices are nearly unlimited with dozens of feature film & short film programs, screening on a daily basis at the AT&T Center venue's newly renovated 500-seat state-of-the-art theater.
Music Fan-atic
Classic
Hollywood icon Paul Newman will be honored on the 1st anniversary of his passing with back-to-back, outdoor screenings of two of his most celebrated films: Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid & Hud. It's all FREE!

Yeah, baby! We hear you. It's a party every night - uh, make that two parties every night — at the 2009 Downtown Film Festival.
Green-ster
Green is more than good for the environment. It's also cool. Join the "living green, living great" crowd all-day & into-the-evening at Sustainable L.A. on Thursday, Aug. 20th at the festival's 7+FIG.

The Shorts & Sweets, August 17-21, is especially designed for commuters. Get a taste of the festival twice daily with a fascinating smorgasbord of short films & videos from around the world. Complimentary coffee & sweets! Mmmmm.

 Green-ster Green is more than good for the environment. It's also cool.
Join the "living green, living great" crowd at the festival all-day and into-the-evening at Sustainable L.A. on Thursday, Aug. 20th at the festival's 7+FIG.
It's all there for the environmentally conscious urban citizen:
- a farmer's market,
- "slow food" cooking demonstrations,
- the latest in green products and services,
- free giveaways,
- and guest lectures and book signings by some of the leading voices in the green movement.
And save your money to renew your membership in your favorite eco organization: All the programming at Sustainable L.A. is entirely free. (Note the MTA 7th / Metro Station is right across the street so it couldn't be easier - or more climate- friendly - to get there.)
Later that evening, join us as we celebrate the environment with an eco-friendly party at the festival's Cinema Lounge.
You'll also want to catch the Los Angeles premiere screening at the AT&T Center theater of the critically acclaimed A Sea Change, the first documentary on ocean acidification, the underbelly of climate change.
