Film Fest Brings A-Listers to Palm Springs Convention Center

25th Anniversary includes appearances by Jane Fonda, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts

Sandra Bullock accepts the Achievement Award for her film “Gravity” during the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

The Palm Springs Convention Center has seen its profile rise to Oscar-caliber buzz each January with the Palm Springs International Film Festival, which celebrates its 25th anniversary, Jan. 3-13.

According to Film Festival spokesman Steven Wilson, the festival has grown to include 187 films from 60 countries, screened at movie houses across Palm Springs, including 77 film premieres. Created by former mayor and music star Sonny Bono in 1989, the festival has continued to grow even after Bono’s death in 1998 into a precursor for the film industry’s award season.

In fact its opening gala at the Palm Springs Convention Center has become an important lead up to the Academy Awards on March 2 and an important stopover for celebrities trying to generate excitement for their Oscar-contender films. Jane Fonda, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Gary Oldman all walked the red carpet leading into the convention center’s 92,000-sq.-ft. ballroom. Other celebs who spoke at the Gala included Matthew McConaughey, who accepted an award for Oscar-contender “Dallas Buyers Club,” Sandra Bullock, who accepted the Achievement Award for “Gravity,” Meryl Streep, who received the Icon Award for her appearance in “August: Osage County,” and Bradley Cooper and Amy Adams, who received Best Ensemble award for the film “American Hustle.”

“It’s become an important lead up to the Oscars and that’s brought in many celebrities over the years who are in and among the attendees,” said James Canfield, GM of the SMG-managed facility.

The Opening Gala has an attendance of about 2,200 with an additional 800 staff members, part-time workers, volunteers and international media in attendance.

“We feed all of them,” said Canfield. Concessions are handled by in-house firm Savoury’s Catering, an independent firm owned by chef  Brad Toles, which also handles bar service.

The 2,200 seats available for the event sold out two months in advance, with tickets priced from $350 per plate, all the way up to $5,000 a seat for prime locations. Some sponsors spend $50,000 for a table at the event. While the event is promoted independently by the Independent Film Society, the city of Palm Springs is a sponsor, contributing $300,000.

A Successful Math Council Conference

Posted on March 27, 2014 by admin

The success of the CMC South conference rests on everyone with any role to play – from speakers to catering managers to conference team registrars.

Please thank your entire PSCC team for the consistent high quality of service provided!  The CMC South Board may not be aware that a reporter and photographer captured some sounds/images of our Halloween Thursday set-up for the conference, and the Desert Sun published an article the next day that mentioned the math conference as one indicator that Coachella Valley attracts business that could have selected another locale.

– President of the Math Council
