Background


Launched in September 1995 and held, uninterrupted every September until 2011 (later to relaunch, in 2014), the festival proclaims itself a celebration film and music. It drew 600 attendees to its 1995 launch. By 2008, it would draw more than 20,000 people. Over 1,000 films have been screened at the Temecula Valley International Film Festival, representing film-work from more than 20 countries since 1995.



Cancellation and Re-launch


The festival was canceled after its 2011 showing after nonprofit event producer Cinema Entertainment Alliance decided that revenue losses following the recession made the event untenable.[2][3] There was an announcement that the event would be restructured, but it was not held in 2012 or 2013. It returned in 2014, re-branded as "Temecula Valley Int'l Film & Music Festival."[1]
