And This is How VFF17 Spent The Month of May

OK, I promise you we did more than stare up at OWN the entire month of May, but not much. We're so freaking excited for all of the awesome things coming up later this year, we can't contain ourselves. Just know we have more panels in the works for you, like Meet the Programmers at Columbia College of Hollywood (in Tarzana), additionally we're adding more screenings to the 2017 festival, and we are looking to our friends around the globe to participate. For now, enjoy more of Oprah and this beautiful the beautiful LA dusk.

VFF17 @ The Lot Studios

Thanks to our friends at Dances With Films, we're crashing their office space at The Lot Studios for the next two months! Looks like we're in good company with OWN next door. If only Oprah would share her wifi with us....

Cannes Film Festival Unveils Poster for 70th Anniversary
