Palm Springs Film Festival January 2 -12 2025

Thursday the Palm Springs Film Festival starts and runs until the 12th. Having seen pretty much every film at the festival I can honestly say that the festival kicks ass. This is the festival you should be going to if you want to see a slate that will catch you up with many of the best films from 2024.

Seriously the vast majority of the films playing will delight you. 

In putting this piece together I realized that beyond saying the film is full of great films and proving it by providing links there wasn't anything more to say.  Just pick some titles and buy some tickets and go.

(Tickets and information can be found here) 

While I have indeed seen most of the films at the festival, I will have some more coverage, most importantly Marq Evans DIAMOND KING and and interview with Marq. A review soon- but don't wait just buy some tickets.

And with that I leave you with the very long list of film reviews for you to read.
