Mill Valley Film Festival

October 5 - 15 marks the 29th annual Mill Valley Film Festival. Known as a filmmakers' festival, its non-competitive nature brings the best of international and independent films to simply celebrate cinema. Categories include world cinema, documentaries and children's films. Special tributes planned for Tim Robbins and Helen Mirren and a spotlight on critically acclaimed director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu are just several of the highlights. But movies aren't the only thing you'll find at the festival. The 11-day event is rife with gala celebrations, parties, seminars and opportunities to mingle with the filmmakers.
