The Other Venice Film Festival bridges the community of Venice and that of greater Los Angeles together in a competitive, fun-filled weekend of movies and mayhem. The Other Venice Film festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to the discovery and development of independent artists and audiences. Through its programs, the OVFF seeks to discover, support, and inspire independent film and theatre artists from Venice and around the world, and to introduce audiences to their new work. – Festival Overview : Many historians suggest that film making in Los Angeles was born in Venice, with Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, The Keystone Cops and the Little Rascals all shooting in studios and locations here. Join the festival that celebrates the original ‘Hollywood’ and local filmmaking greats like Roger Corman , James Cameron & Oliver Stone that base their studios in Venice. Venice Beach is still home to many industry businesses, including production, casting, sound, special effects and post houses. The Other Venice Film Festival is named that way because there already is a Venice Film Festival – in Venice, Italy. Our festival is produced by a core team of professionals, awesome volunteers and strong community support. – Awards & Prizes: The Abbot Awards® are given to filmmakers who exemplify maverick filmmaking, by creating stunning and poignant cinema. These films, often hilarious or tragically absurd, are made without the benefits of large budgets and technological wizardry. These filmmakers share the spirit and artistic energy of Venice’s founding father Abbot Kinney. In honoring these filmmakers who adhere to their singular vision, we honor our Venetian benefactor, Abbot Kinney.
