Since 1978, the Cinéma du Réel international documentary film festival has been an outstanding international meeting point, where the public and professionals discover the films of experienced authors as well as new talents, the history of documentary cinema as well as contemporary works. The festival programs some two hundred films for its various sections, screened at the Centre Pompidou, the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles, the MK2 Beaubourg film theatre and several other theatres in the Ile-de- France area.

The Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival invites you to enjoy screenings of what we believe to be the best new feature films, documentaries, shorts and videos by filmmakers who posses an independent vision and operate to create innovative work outside the studio system. We honor these filmmakers with awards of merit and screenings at our Film Festival each December in Hollywood, CA. The Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival celebrates independent and international filmmaking from students to seasoned professionals and of any size budget under 5 million USD and as long as the film has been made in the last three years and has no significant American distribution.
