Uplifters Film Festival
Big Beach Reads and Uplifters Ranch Films announce the first annual Uplifters Film Festival will be held in Rustic Canyon, Pacific Palisades Feb.18 – Feb. 24, 2027 at the Rustic Canyon Recreation Center, site of the historic Uplifters Ranch. Founded as a revival of the historic Hollywood club ‘the Uplifters,’ the Uplifters Film Festival continues the club's tradition: to provide a place for filmmakers and storytellers to showcase their work, network, and learn from one another against the backdrop of nature. The festival plans to contribute to the continuing recovery of the Pacific Palisades community two years after the devastating Palisades Fire.
The film festival will invite approximately 20 full-length feature films to screen "In Competition." 10 additional films from up-and-coming and first-time filmmakers will screen in the "Rising Voices" section. In addition, the festival will screen short films, documentaries, and episodic projects, and will offer a screenwriting competition for un-produced feature and episodic scripts.
