LOS ANGELES, CA - April 24, 2014 - Life Film Fest is the unique, world-wide film festival dedicated to showcasing films which affirm the importance of the human experience and the unique value of every life. Life Fest is held, "in the heart of the entertainment industry."

 

"The human experience is what real story-telling is all about,"  says Brian Johnston, Life Fest founder. "And it is that primordial affirmation of the individual life that people long for. We have folks from around the world, from all backgrounds and political interests who are genuinely excited about Life Fest Film Festival," said Johnston.  "We are honored to rekindle this tradition in Hollywood." 

 

The Capra Award, named for iconic film Director/Producer Frank Capra, is awarded by Life Fest to that film which exemplifies the unique value and significance of an individual, a theme not only in all of Capra's but in many other classic Hollywood productions. 

 

This year, Life Fest's new hotel headquarters is the fabulous Loew's Hollywood, adjacent to the Kodak Theater. Workshops, networking events and screenings will take place at the Loew's, Family Theater Productions screening rooms on Sunset, and the famous Raleigh Studios screening facilities.
