Hollywood International Diversity Film Festival

The values of Southern California reflect the diversity of gender, gender identity, and the many different cultures that reside within our region. And independent film has been the driver of change in the Hollywood mainstream, at times influencing and re-shaping the norms of studio and network content.

With screenings in the heart of Hollywood, our event celebrates independent films that embrace diversity of gender and cultural perspectives, and accepts our differences to promote understanding and empathy.

Awards for films and screenplays in competition will be presented at the event including genre-specific awards, diverse cultural perspective awards, and the Audience Choice awards which will be determined based on the votes by the audience members at the screenings.

Award winning material and selections will also be considered by industry professionals from production companies, representation, distributors and more, including:

The Green Room Management 

Elevate Entertainment 

Velocity Entertainment Partners 

Heroes and Villains Entertainment

... and more.
