This charming location just may be the ideal spot for a film festival. Palm Springs is an easy ride from L.A. or Santa Barbara, where a lot of the talent lives. It’s easy for the industry to monitor, as opposed to Cannes or Venice. It has great amenities — beautiful hotels, swimming pools, golf clubs — and the setting offers a sense of romance to the films themselves.
