The 3rd annual Downtown Film Festival Los Angeles (DFFLA) will be held in venues throughout downtown Los Angeles, September. 8-12.

Programming highlights will include a gourmet street food and film fest at Los Angeles Center Studios; the Los Angeles premiere screenings of the films of Alice Guy Blaché, a pioneering Silent Era filmmaker, at a movie palace in the historic Theatre District on Broadway; “Sustainable L.A.,” an all-day film and green fair dedicated to ecologically aware urban living; a film and live musical performance at The Grammy Museum at L.A. Live; a free-to-the-public outdoor screening of a classic film in Chinatown, and an interactive digital moving images experience in conjunction with Los Angeles Center for the Digital Art (LACDA) and the September edition of Art Walk. Details to be announced in coming weeks.
“Nobody knows downtown L.A. like our festival. We live here, work here and play here,” said Festival Co-Director Henry Priest. “We’re all about embracing the downtown vibe from Chinatown to South Park and Westlake Village to the Arts District. We want our audience to come with us on our adventure as we explore the many varied environs of downtown L.A. We’ll supply the magical carpet through our unique film festival programming.”
There will be special screening on of the Downtown Film Festival's music documentary series on September 9 of The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Untitled Documentary chronicles the artistic collaboration between one of the biggest rock bands of all time and the directors of their various music videos: Tony Kaye (American History X), Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton (Little Miss Sunshine) and Chris Rock (I Think I Love My Wife). From the birth of the song, to the concept of the music video and to the set, this film shows a never before seen slice of life of The Red Hot Chili Peppers' creative process. A panel discussion will follow featuring the producer and director of the film, Rocky Ziegler and David Hausen.
