LOS ANGELES MODERN CRITICS FILM AWARDS

The Los Angeles Modern Critics Film Awards redefine what it means to critique and celebrate modern cinema. We honor bold creativity, fresh voices, and artistic risks that push the boundaries of storytelling. Through our online platform, we host exclusive screenings and provide tailored visibility across the media landscape, amplifying each filmmaker's work during awards season and beyond. Our goal is not only to highlight excellence but also to create a meaningful dialogue between creators and critics. Rooted in the heart of Hollywood yet open to the entire world, we aim to become a leading platform for contemporary cinematic thought and innovation.
