Topanga Film Institute exists to inspire, inform and interconnect a community of filmmakers and content creators, to foster global connections, to facilitate dialogue and to explore new frontiers of technology.  Storytelling to advance humanity.
 
A stone’s throw from Hollywood yet worlds removed, Topanga Canyon is historically, geographically and philosophically perfectly situated to gather today’s most forward-thinking individuals in mainstream and alternative media, to share human and intellec tual resources through frequent salons, panels, seminars, screenings, mentorship programs, networking opportunities.
 
The TFI holds the annual Topanga Film Festival every July. A multi-day event providing a platform allowing filmmakers and storytellers to share work that advances TFI’s mission, celebrates artistic expression, facilitates dialogue, explores innovation and inspires action.
