Los Angeles Film Festival world class, locally flavored.

The Los Angeles Film Festival has grown into an all-things-for-all-moviegoing-people kind of event.

That juxtaposition sets the tone for what will follow through June 23, mostly but not exclusively downtown at L.A. LIVE's Regal Cinemas.

Upcoming Hollywood blockbusters such as Pixar's "Monsters University" will rub shoulders with the latest works from international auteurs Marco Bellocchio, Costa-Gavras, Takash i Miike, Nicolas Winding Refn, Hong Sangsoo and Johnnie To.

Theaters are expanding in the world's most populous nation at an astonishing rate. China Film Group, the government-owned entity responsible for most things cinematic there, estimates that some 10 screens are added each day to the nearly 15,000 already in operation.

dictator 2-1_sm When you think of the southeastern tip of Long Island, N.Y., you may picture seaside mansions along pristine beaches and top-down convertibles with bopping preppy teens. But the Suffolk County Film Commission wants you to know that there’s more to southeast Long Island than the Hamptons. “We’ve got architecture from the 1700s through the late 1800s,” says Michelle Isabelle-Stark, director of the Suffolk County Office of Film and Cultural Affairs. “We’ve got maritime assets, of course, but we’ve also got the only decommissioned nuclear power plant that has never been powered up, so it can be used for filming; The Dictator shot there (pictured left). [And] we don’t just offer the ocean and beautiful beaches, but we have lakes, ponds and rivers.” Long Island also boast parks, courthouses, jails, municipal buildings and an airport, which are all available at a much lower cost than in New York City. And with state tax incentives, Suffolk County gives a finishing grant of $6,000 when a production’s principal photography is completed there.

Those big films I did, I didn’t invent them. They were handed to me. The more I would get involved, the worse it would get.”
