Film Festival 2025
It’s another notable year for the Academy’s Best International Feature Film category: Countries from all over the world put forward a film in the hopes of taking home the coveted golden statue.
This year, we're hosting TWO FREE PANELS with a number of shortlisted directors in attendance. Catch both panels back to back on January 6, at the Annenberg Theater to get a unique understanding of these films and their makers.
Each panel will have its own unqiue lineup of guests. The first panel is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm, followed by the second panel at 4:00pm.
Co-presented with The Hollywood Reporter
no need to reserve in advance, seats are first come first serve.
