10th Annual Coronado Film Festival

On the evening of Wednesday, November 5, the Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) kicked off its 4-night celebration in style with the glamorous Leonard Maltin Industry Tribute Awards Gala. The setting: the historic Hotel Del Coronado’s Crown Room, with a 5:30 p.m. champagne reception and red-carpet arrivals on the Vista Terrace.  From 7:00 p.m., the gala transitioned into a formal dinner and awards presentation, followed by an after-party at 9:30 p.m. marking the start of the festival’s four-day run of screenings, panels and industry events.

Leading figures in the film industry walked the red carpet at this the 10th annual celebration of the festival with attendees appreciating “the magical art of visual storytelling.” 

The festival continues across four nights through November 9th with a robust program of film screenings, panels, workshops and industry networking events. Venues across Coronado, including local theaters, and other resort spaces shall host filmmakers and audiences alike. One of the festival’s noted elements is its ability to draw “filmmakers, screenwriters, emerging artists and industry leaders” into one waterfront community.
