 The
City of Angels Film Festival planning group
warmly welcomes you to the 2002 Festival. We have designed and planned
a cinematic event that we believe will stimulate your imagination and alter
your thinking. Our festival is about screening great films that explore
the dynamic of city life with special attention to religious sensibilities.
We love movies, urban existence, and spiritual queries. We anticipate
you do as well!
Now in its 9th year, the City of Angels Film Festival (CAFF) was born amidst the "Rebuild L.A." impulse following the intense social upheaval of 1992. The festival was created, in part, as a gift from spiritually sensitive filmmakers and cinematically informed theologians to help revitalize this great city. Responding also to Cardinal Roger Mahony's stirring pastoral letter to filmmakers and moviegoers to listen to and learn from each other, the coalition behind the CAFF emerge with a specific mission: to identify and showcase movies that probe the ambiguities of human life, which includes the longing for transcendence. Over the years, the festival has specialized in retrospectives of feature films with panel discussions on their cultural capital and spiritual significance. The eventual inclusion of a Documentary and Short Films Program at the festival added a component of freshness to the annual event that demonstrates CAFF's entrepreneurial spirit as well as its commitment to honor masterpieces of the past.
