Echo Park Film Center (EPFC, established 2001) and the EPFC Collective (launched 2022) provide all-ages community film/video workshops, screenings, resources, and residencies in Los Angeles and around the world.
After 20 glorious years at 1200 N. Alvarado Street, Echo Park Film Center has returned
to our itinerant roots and gone “back on the road” to work in communities far and wide. We are a diverse group of artists, activists, and educators dedicated to sharing film/video resources, partnering with arts, education, and social justice organizations, and continuing to support the creation and exhibition of heartfelt, handmade movies around the world.
The EPFC Mothership is still based in Echo Park, but now as the EPFC Collective we’ve expanded the cinematic magic to satellite sites in Long Beach, San Fernando Valley, Mid-City, and South LA in addition to infinite points beyond with the EPFC Filmmobile, FilmCICLE, and LA AIRport.
Thanks to the generous support of the Golden Globe Foundation, Echo Park Film Center provides free filmmaking workshops for hundreds of LA County children, teens, and young adults each year with our fleet of mobile educational vehicles including the EPFC Filmmobile, EPFC FilmCICLE and the LA AIRport, a solar-powered cinema/film school/film lab on wheels!
