LAFF is the same non-profit organization who produces the Independent Spirit Awards.
To create an impact during the award season, LAFF has moved from the summer to the fall, September 20th to 28th, 2018.
The Venues for the 2018 Festival include the ArcLight Cinemas in Culver City, Hollywood, and Santa Monica, as well as the new LMU Playa Vista Campus (opening this fall), the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts and the Writers Guild Theater.
