NoHo CineFest Returns to Glendale
The 13th Annual NoHo CineFest is set to take place from August 27-30, 2026 in Glendale, California. This prestigious film festival will transform LOOK Dine-In Cinemas Glendale into a bustling hub of independent filmmaking, showcasing more than 100 feature and short films from diverse filmmakers around the globe.
