In this world of over 5,000+ film festivals worldwide, LA Femme International Film Festival is doing it right with supporting great filmmakers and a platform of love and support that is just not offered at larger festivals. This one of a kind hi-end boutique film festival brings nurturing to the forefront offering more opportunities for networking than any other festivals this year as they pivoted from on the ground to LIVE virtual.

Leslie LaPage, Founder of LAFIFF, is a Woman of Color and has been a successful producer, writer, and director in the industry. But is has been LA Femme that has driven her and her vision to allow those in the industry to see the multitude of projects being created by women that have been neglected over the years. "We ARE the "Sundance" of Women Film Festivals worldwide with more worldwide premiers from more countries then I can imagine, and we still operate faster, lighter, and better than those doing much less than us. We are the powerhouse of creativity and a forerunner in the vision for festivals, programming, and the female indie filmmaker creators worldwide. If they are a women filmmaker, they know us, we know them." Said Leslie LaPage. Leslie is sought after by several of the major studios for her knowledge of the demographic of female content creators and is a consultant to studios worldwide trying to pivot to the new empowerment movement. A movement she was in front of in 2005.

The fully virtual festival celebrates its 16th year of programing films Produced, Written, and Directed by Women of color worldwide. This year's festival launches on a VIRTUAL platform, SVOD, with LIVE EVENTS on October 15, 2020, at midnight and goes until October 18, 2020, at 11:59 pm PDT. Screening on Demand (SVOD) with over 150+ films in categories such as film, documentary, shorts, animation, web series, commercial, and music videos. All events and screenings will be on our platform partner CYA.LIVE. You can secure your tickets at https://www.cya.live/channel/lafemme/home

Tickets on sale: All-Access Passes are $49.99, Panel Passes $29.99, Film Passes $19.99, Comedy Show: Putting the "F" in Funny $14.99, and individually priced tickets ranging from $4.99 to $14.99.
