OVERVIEW
The Long Beach International Film Festival (LBIFF) takes place July 27 - 30 (Wednesday through Saturday).
FILM PROGRAM
Each year we consider over 1,000 films to curate a collection of wonderful new independent films for our audiences to enjoy and discuss. The program includes both films screening in competition as well as out-of-competition. The films are grouped into the following sections:
• Narrative Features Competition
• Documentary Features Competition
• Special Presentations
• Shorts Programs
FILM RATINGS AND CHILDREN
Most Festival films do not yet have MPAA ratings attached. Therefore parents should carefully read film descriptions and use their discretion when considering what might be appropriate for their children.
FILMMAKER Q&A
In an effort to make the Festival more interactive, we encourage filmmakers to attend and conduct a Q&A after the film. This is a great opportunity to ask them your questions about the making of the film.
FESTIVAL FACULTY AND JURY
Esteemed industry professionals join us as members of the 2022 Festival Jury.
