These range from diners to screenings.
Perhaps you will want to start by attending the Opening Night Party. This is where the stars, directors and producers come out to play. If they are not here, perhaps you can catch them at any of the Awards' Ceremony or Wards' Gala Dinner, honoring members of the film world.

Since some are debuting at the Long Beach International Film Festival, it is your chance to take part in a premier.
