DogFest Film Festival!

Anyone wanting to take their pooch out for a fun Saturday night (June 17th) might want to check out the Dogfest Film Festival, sponsored by Paws L.A. Festivities for this outdoor event start at 6 p.m., and the films will screen at sundown (approximately 8:15 p.m.) and run about 60 minutes.


Organizers say that each year filmmakers from all over the world submit short films or documentaries about dogs, featuring dogs, or containing thought-provoking messages about dogs, for consideration in 10 different categories. Winning films this year include Amy Nicholson's "Beauty School" a documentary about the New York School of Dog Grooming, Tim Greenberg's parody "La Puppé" about French new-wave cinema and Jim Blauvelt's music video featuring Tyson, the skateboarding Bulldog.

Bring your own blanket or chairs...and your pup pal must be on-leash. Tickets are $15 and children 12 and under are free. Dogfest will be held at the Autry National Center (Griffith Park), 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles. More info or advance tickets call 323-464-PAWS or email info@pawsla.org.
