Countdown to the festival. It's coming quickly -- September 28-30, 2023.

We have 7 world premieres and 3 special screenings for 2023!

The future of storytelling. It's all about the story, the experience and empowering storytellers.

We're 2 festivals in one, iHollywood Film Fest and the "I Am Awards", both are under the iHollywood Film Fest and awarded during the festival. Submissions are judged in a traditional manner with industry professionals. "I Am Awards" are based on energetic frequency. There are many crossovers and surprisingly or perhaps not so surprisingly our best films did well in both categories.

The 2023 iHollywood Film Fest is a multi-day festival with the first day being our iHollywood Summit which is where Mastermind meets Film3 and Web3 with specialty programming geared towards finance, distribution and tools to expand your storytelling and flourish.

In 2023, we’ll have special screenings featuring the winners from the Fullerton School District’s FSD Fest and Film It West Covina - West Covina Film Festival.

Day 1: iHollywood Summit Pitchevent with qualifying film and series pitches to film financiers. They’ll be in the same room and you’ll be able to meet and mingle with them throughout the day.

Day 2: Movie Marathon

Day 3: Movie Marathon, Awards and Closing Night Reception

Live screenings will be in a movie marathon, with receptions and awards. Our schedule brings energy to the festival with special experiences planned for festival attendees.

iHollywood Film Fest was the 1st film festival to award NFTs and is a member of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Entertainment, Arts & Media plus Tourism committees. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is the awarding organization of the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the historic Hollywood sign.
