Cinema at the Edge Film Festival
April 10-12, 2015
The Edgemar
Center for the Arts is well known on the west side of Los Angeles as a venue
where up and coming talent share quality work, and Artistic Director Michelle
Danner is thrilled to now invite the global independent film community to
experience this vibrant, beachside community. Previous iterations of the
festival have welcomed Brett Ratner as an Honorary Chair of the festival, as
well as a celebrity jury that included film veterans such as Susan Sarandon and
John Singleton. Cinema At the Edge will also feature opening and closing night
parties, an award ceremony, and a series of panels with an emphasis on the
filmmaking process. Previous panels featured Directors David Anspaugh
(“Hoosiers”, “Rudy”) and the late George Hickenlooper (“Casino Jack”, “Factory
Girl”).
In 2015, Cinema
at the Edge will present narrative feature, documentary and short film
programs. Jury and audience awards will be given in each category. Jury prizes
include a $250 cash award. While the programmers are thrilled to give
independent filmmakers a vehicle of expression, an additional commitment is to
see that the standout titles at the festival have an opportunity to screen for
distributors. Therefore the winners of the jury and audience awards in each
category will be viewed by industry professionals working in international film
distribution and considered for acquisition.
The Edgemar Center for the Arts is located at 2437 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA 90405.
