Sundance Next Fest 2016 Preview: Indie Film Indulgence Descends on DTLA

One of the coolest events in downtown LA the past few summers has been Sundance's version of a fun festival weekend: Sundance Next Fest. While Next Fest may not be the high-powered industry fest that its wintertime sibling is, it is a great excuse to see some cool movies and see some awesome talks and bands do their thing. Every screening includes some kind of extra special add-on. What's more The Theatre at the Ace Hotel is one of the coolest venues to see a film in all of LA.

This year Next Fest has added a host of panels, an entire VR sidebar, and a much-needed "outdoor social hub" dubbed Next Door to hang and have a refreshing drink or two. We've got a preview of all of the events for you in the gallery below.

Sundance Next Fest kicks off this Friday. Check out more info plus ticket info at the Next Fest website.
