Slamdance said Tuesday that its annual film festival will move to Los Angeles starting in February 2025. The move, organizers said, will allow for the continued growth of the festival’s year-round mission to provide an accessible community for independent filmmakers and creators.

The 2025 festival will run February 20-26 at venues in and surrounding Hollywood including the Landmark Theatres and the DGA Theater complex, with more locations to be announced.

The festival aims to be financially accessible, with in-person passes starting at $50 and many programs free to the public. Existing and new programs will be featured at the festival including Polytechnic, Slamdance’s free education endeavor; ’6ixty’, a series of one-minute short films made on any format; Next Wave LA, a program of new media work made by L.A.-based artists; and the experiential DIG (Digital, Interactive, Gaming) program.

Panasonic Lumix will be the official sponsor of the 2025 Slamdance Film Festival in Los Angeles. Additional industry partners include the DGA, Landmark Theatres and AGBO.  “Our journey in the film industry began at Slamdance, and our commitment to the festival and the opportunities it offers filmmakers has remained unwavering,” AGBO co-founders Anthony and Joe Russo said today in a press release announcing the news. “Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with numerous filmmakers through our fellowship program and various initiatives at our studio.
