This isn’t exactly the L.A. Film Festival’s worst nightmare, but neither is it an outcome the festival was hoping to see.
This year’s LAFF kicks off on Thursday night at 7:30 with a gala and presumably star-studded screening of “The Kids Are All Right,” a well-received Lisa Cholodenko film starring Annette Bening, Julianne Moore and Mark Ruffalo. That’s an hour and a half after the beginning of the deciding game seven in the Los Angeles Lakers/Boston Celtics NBA championship series.
The screening, and subsequent party, will be held in the premiere theater of the Regal Cinemas complex, and then on the roof of an adjacent parking garage, at L.A.
