Festival Will Be Held May 22-26, 2024, Throughout Mammoth Lakes
California Premiere “Never Look Away” and “Black Box Diaries” to Open and Close the Festival.
The Festival Features 17 West Coast, US, International, and World Premieres
Mammoth Lakes, CA (May 3, 2024) – Today, Mammoth Lakes Film Festival (MLFF) announced they’ve reached double digits with this year’s tenth presentation of the well-respected event taking place in-person from May 22-26, 2024, at venues across Mammoth Lakes.
The festival opens on May 22 with the California Premiere of “Never Look Away,” directed by Lucy Lawless. A swashbuckling CNN combat camerawoman, Margaret Moth, risks it all to put the viewer inside the conflict, but when a fateful injury gets in the way of her appetite for danger and adrenaline, Moth must find the strength to carry on. The closing night on May 26 will feature “Black Box Diaries” directed by Shiori Ito. Journalist Ito investigates her own sexual assault, seeking to prosecute the high-profile offender, and her quest becomes a landmark case, exposing Japan's outdated judicial and societal systems.
“We are thrilled to present such bold and impactful films for this year’s festival. At a time when human life seems to be in a fragile state, we are proud of our filmmakers who saw and experienced challenges and chose to do something in a brave and determined way,” said Festival Director Shira Dubrovner, “telling stories that demand change in our world; making films that inspire audiences to take action. This year’s lineup is a showcase of activism at its highest level.”
Director of Programming Paul Sbrizzi added, “Our opening and closing movies are both powerful stories about women who committed 100% to fight for agency over their work and their own bodies. The festival program as a whole spans widely across genres and styles, from dramas to comedies to non-fiction to art for art’s sake, showcasing a carousel of inspired and groundbreaking work.”
The MLFF feature film line-up is as follows:
Core Competitions
North American Narrative Features:

The festival will also feature a Short Films Program of 38 Narrative Shorts, 20 documentary shorts and 10 animation shorts, as well as a program of music videos and a screenplay competition.
