"Los Angeles as a Character" is a one-night only screening (November 15, 2008) that will showcase narrative, experimental and documentary short films and videos with the city of Los Angeles as a peripheral or central theme, backdrop or character.

14 films were chosen ranging from fifteen year old Mason Shefa’s experimental look at the neon landscape of Hollywood at night, “Memories of an Undefined Image,” to Donlee Brussell’s award-winning “"Intoxicated Demons," a darkly comedic “love letter to counter culture LA.” Other films include Echo Park Film Center students Ava Hess whose entry “Dance Eli, Dance” finds the protagonist dancing across just about every neighborhood of Los Angeles, and Valentina Martin’s, “Iris:Los Angeles,” described as an “open letter of praise” to the city. Patrick Robins’ premieres his hilarious “Hair Cowboy” – a documentary about a cooler-than-thou homeless hair stylist on Melrose and program curator Charles Doran presents the L.A. premiere of “Westsider,” a black comedy portraying the downfall of an arrogant young architect whose Frank Gehry-like aspirations are cut short once he’s forced to move to the San Fernando Valley.

Other films include:
“Dichotomy” – Van Veng
“I Remember Venice” – Will O’Loughlen
“Moose, Indian” – Nicholas Kokich
“Mr. Freeway” – Kenneth Hughes
“Palm Tree Song Line” – Dagie Brundert
