INDUSTRY ACCREDITATION
Mill Valley Film Festival is where industry professionals connect, discover award-season contenders, and catch West Coast premieres before anyone else. Known as the filmmakers’ festival, MVFF has built a reputation for launching buzzworthy new work. Just north of San Francisco, nestled in the redwoods, MVFF pairs great films with great restaurants, wineries, and the kind of conversation that only happens between screenings. See films, hike, network — build your own film retreat with a community of like minds.
