Silver Lake Film Festival (SLFF, Inc.) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization established to provide a showcase for independent film in Los Angeles. In the film capital of the world, and in the shadow of the Hollywood film industry, independently produced films are often neglected and worse, rarely presented.

Silver Lake Film Festival was created to specifically address the lack of opportunity for independent narrative features and documentaries, as well as short films, to be seen by audiences in movie theaters. These are films that reflect a personal vision of the filmmaker, rather than a commercial imperative. In fact, the majority of films screened at the annual SLFF festival would otherwise never been seen by Los Angeles audiences in any context - in theaters, on TV or DVD, etc. In addition to its annual festival, the organization presents a monthly screening of short films that is consistently SRO and a variety of media arts and related arts programming throughout the year.
