9th Annual Awareness Film Festival Opens Tomorrow, Spotlighting Films That Make a Difference, Runs Sept. 27 - Oct 7., 2018 in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, September 26, 2018 (Newswire.com) - ​The 9th Annual Awareness Film Festival returns this year tomorrow, Sept. 27, and runs through to Oct. 7, 2018. The Awareness Film Festival, which was recognized this year as being one of the Top 100 Reviewed Film Festivals by Film Freeway, celebrates with a vital program that brings a focus to ecological, health/well being, political and spiritual films from all around the world.

Taking place at The Regal Cinemas in L.A. LIVE, the Awareness Film Festival has continued to grow and to help promote change in the world on a socio-economic level. This year will not only include screenings of incredibly inspirational and thought-provoking films, but will also play host to filmmaker Q&A’s, panel discussions, live music, speakers, artists, parties, and a virtual reality showcase.

Never has there been a more important time to stay diligent and have our eyes, ears, and hearts open to issues that affect everyone, directly or indirectly. This year's selections highlight an especially diverse range of issues and give us pathways to action. Staying informed is no longer a luxury but a necessity - we need to stay loud about things that matter.
