Malibu 2023 will combine an in-person festival and building upon the success of previous online editions—an accessible virtual experience for everyone to enjoy. Films officially selected for the 2023 Malibu Film Festival may be presented in-theater or online.
Malibu Film Festival's focus is on supporting emerging directors. As a nonprofit arts organization, the Malibu Film Foundation has held the Malibu Film Festival for close to twenty five years to support emerging directors and introduce their work to audiences, creating a community around independent storytelling.
Malibu Film Festival is produced and staffed by members of the Director's Guild of America (DGA).

Honorees and Filmmakers who first presented their work at the festival are now amongst the biggest names in the industry include Academy Award® winning director James Cameron (Avatar, Titanic, Terminator); Academy Award® winning director Bryan Fogel (Jewtopia, Icarus, The Dissident);
ABOUT PROGRAMMING

Malibu Film Festival programers are comprised of award winning filmmakers, festival alumni, and working union members including DGA, SAG/AFTRA, IATSE and WGA.
