The 24th annual Valley Film Festival screened more than 70 films and hosted professional development panels for eight days this month. Juried Ten Degrees Hotter and audience awards were announced at a ceremony hosted at Hennessey Studios in North Hollywood’s Arts District. The district and San Fernando Valley are part of Los Angeles.

The Ten Degrees Hotter awards went to “The Ghost Trap” for best U.S. narrative feature, “Ciurè” for best international narrative feature and “American Pot Story: Oaksterdam” for best documentary feature. Short film honors from the festival went to “Broad Daylight” for best narrative short and “Speaking with the Ancestors” for best documentary short, with an honorable mention for the documentary “An Unlikely Mermaid.”

In summers, high temperatures in the daytime are around 10 degrees warmer than the rest of Los Angeles’ west side, according to Ivo Welch.
