Sunny skies are a given during the American Film Market. Westside Los Angeles and Santa Monica restaurants provide ample ways to enjoy the fair weather from the newly opened rooftop bar and restaurant at the Santa Monica Proper Hotel to Chez Jay’s freshly installed patio to the sociable picnic tables along the Third Street Promenade, added by the local business district. Here’s where to dine in style al fresco, grab a quick bite, celebrate or meet for that all-important deal-closing dinner.

Big stars – and lots of those not-so-famous actors hoping to ride the Sundance Film Festival train to that same spot in the Hollywood firmament – descended on Park City for Sundance 2019 as the fest’s first weekend unfolded from January 24 to 27. Happily, the weather cooperated (cold but clear) and there were parties, premieres, brunches, dinners and dances all day and all night. The most popular game became a contest: how many gatherings could you hit in one day? And how many outfit changes could you pull off? Awkwafina and Naomi Watts played that one like bosses.
Sundance 2019 is all about diversity and inclusiveness, as women are making bold moves on both sides of the camera and the stories being told encompass the rainbow of human experiences. And there was even a bona fide second line, straight from the heart of New Orleans onto snowy Main Street. It’s been a time to celebrate change,...

As the 2019 Sundance Film Festival rolls into Park City, Utah, for its 34th iteration from January 24 to February 3, there’s a pitched battle among the 241 filmmakers to win one of the fest’s 12 coveted prizes. That’s the main event, but the fight to snag those elusive invites to the best parties popping up all over town is equally combative, which is why we’ve curated the top tickets/lists here — plus-ones included, of course.
Big-name actors expected to be making the rounds at Sundance this year range from Duane Johnson to Zac Efron, Jake Gyllenhaal and Adam Driver on the male side and Hilary Swank, Lupita Nyong’o, Naomi Watts, Rosamund Pike and Viola Davis representing the women, with founder Robert Redford circulating despite his reported retirement from acting.
Also in the shivering mix on Main Street: independent directors, producers, newbie actors, sponsors and the now ever-present “influencers,” armed with hashtags and selfie sticks.
