HDFEST Los Angeles is the last city in the HDFEST 2005 World Tour. The LA event will be held on December 1st-4th, 2005 at the Hollywood Pacific Theatre & Dolby Laboratories Larry Umlang Presentation Theatre II.

Looking at the schedule, there will be a variety of HD features and shorts screened, as well as seminars and panels on HD, HDV, and production in general. Also, on Sunday night, HDFEST will present the HDFEST 2005 Deffie Award Ceremony at the Dolby Laboratories’ Larry Umlang Presentation Theatre II. The Deffie Awards recognize achievement in High Definition filmmaking. Wish I could make it…

HDFest is billed as the “World’s Only High Definition Film Festival”…they showcase projects which have been shot exclusively in HD. The films are screened using 2K projector technology. We mentioned them previously when they announced they would be screening at the NYC event exclusively using the DivX HD codec.
