It also sees a good number of celebrities, awards, tributes, special events, and much more. The Palm Springs Film Festival is located in the Coachella Valley in Southern California. It runs from January 3 – January 14.
This year as the film festival marks 30 years, Bradley Cooper will be presented with the Director of the Year Award for the film ‘A Star is Born’ on January 3rd.
