Many of Hollywood’s biggest names are currently passing through London where they are set to debut some of this year’s buzziest awards titles as part of the London Film Festival. The most sought-after cinema ticket among the city’s cool kids, however, is an intimate screening hosted this evening by an art gallery.
Hollywood is a neighborhood in the central region of Los Angeles, California, notable as the home of the U.S. film industry, including several of its historic studios. Its name has come to be a shorthand reference for the industry and the people associated with it.
Hollywood was incorporated as a municipality in 1903. It was consolidated with the city of Los Angeles in 1910 and soon thereafter, a prominent film industry emerged, eventually becoming the most recognizable in the world.
