Checking out Film Festivals is a great way to enjoy some work by Independent Filmmakers and to see some interesting films you normally wouldn't see, along with different genres. PALM SPRINGS, CA is host to a number of great Film Fests that the City really gets behind in support of each year including The Palm Springs International Film Festival, Palm Springs Short Fest, Film Noir,and The American Documentary Film Fest,and Native Fest which are two of my favorites. There are so many genres of films to enjoy that you may want to buy a pass that allows you to view multiple films.

So make sure checking out Film Festivals in your area or NOT your area to experience something different in a film experience. Independent Films tell us the stories that NEED to be shared as they tend to be from a more personal perspective. To keep up with The Film Festivals, Entry Deadlines, ETC, VISIT FILM FREEWAY.
