The story is the star.
Every frame counts.
iHollywood Film Fest is where leading-edge storytelling meets the craft that built this town. Every format, side by side, judged on one thing: the story. For filmmakers and audiences of all ages.
The Festival
Two days. The whole future of film.
Hollywood was built on new technology — sound, color, widescreen. iHollywood Film Fest carries that tradition forward. Across two days we screen an official selection of short films across every format, celebrate the work with our community, and put trophies in the hands of storytellers who earned them. Progressive in tools. Timeless in what matters: story, experience, and empowering storytellers of all ages.

The Program
Every frame matters. It's about the story, the experience, and empowering storytellers.
Discover new voices, explore new tools, and celebrate film in all its forms at the 2026 iHollywood Film Fest. Our program brings together live screenings, panels, workshops, receptions, and awards — creating opportunities for filmmakers and audiences to connect through storytelling.
The movie marathon features mini movies and trailers of select feature films, alongside special screenings showcasing winners from the Fullerton School District's FSD Fest and Film It West Covina – West Covina Film Festival.
Beyond the screen, explore film finance, distribution, and tools to expand your storytelling. With a focus on Film3, Web3, AI, and blockchain, our specialty programming connects creative possibilities with the practical opportunities facing filmmakers today. Technology is part of the process; the story remains at the center.
Receptions, networking, and an awards celebration round out the experience, bringing our community together to recognize diverse and emerging talent, exchange ideas, and celebrate the people behind the films.
