Set against a stunning backdrop of Napa Valley's rolling hills, endless vineyards, and rustic beauty, Napa’s Film Festival Launch Celebration (NVFFLC) shines like red carpet premiere. Showcasing the top, new independent films of the year, the inaugural NVFFLC sets the standard for great film making and sparks discussion that continues to elevate the art of visual story-telling.

This year's launch celebration premiers a plethora of talent, from well known A-listers to up-and-coming stars. By offering an opportunity to interact with the filmmakers during live Q&A sessions, NVFFLC provides a unique venue to pull back the curtain and get to know the artists beyond their characters. With films such as Blue Valentine, The King's Speech, Happy Poet, I Am and Lifted, and key filmmaking talent such as Hollywood’s A-List Director, Tom Shadyac and up and coming Derek Cianfrance and Paul Gordon, the NVFFLC promises to be an epic attraction.

Unlike other festival venues, NVFFLC enjoys the benefits of its magnificent location in Northern California’s famous wine country. Attend the exclusive After-Party at Oenotri & Gordon Huether Gallery with the attending filmmakers, and sample foods and wines from the surrounding vineyards as NVFFLC treats you to a new brand of film screening. As NVFFLC blends the elegance of Napa Valley with the glitz of Hollywood, soak in the sun, preview the latest releases, and feel like one of the stars.
