AFI FEST 2026
There is one week a year when the boulevard that sells cheap souvenirs the other fifty-one becomes the center of the movie universe. Not figuratively. The films everyone will be arguing about in winter are screening a few feet from the handprints.
The actual pleasure is narrower than that: sitting in that enormous auditorium as the lights go down on a film nobody has decided about yet — before the critics fix its meaning, before the trophies tell you what it was. The year's most talked-about titles arrive here months ahead of wide release, in the same complex where the studios stage their own premieres. Around you: the obsessives, the awards-season trackers, and the students who moved to this city for exactly this.
A week in the fall at the TCL Chinese Theatres on Hollywood Boulevard.
Send it to the friend whose Letterboxd reviews you actually read all the way through.
