Flux
Emerging or unverified festival
Flux is a Los Angeles screening series and festival-style program centered at the Hammer Museum’s Billy Wilder Theater, running since 2008 and known for bringing together filmmakers, visual artists, musicians, designers, and talent scouts. It is notable for its non-competitive format, inventive live filmmaker presentations, and emphasis on short films and music videos from around the world, with expanded editions that also include talks, performances, workshops, and immersive media. Its significance in the film festival circuit lies in its role as a curated showcase for emerging and experimental voices and as a networking hub within LA’s creative community.
