It’s time, people! We are rolling out the red carpet and manning the ticket office at downtown’s LA Live for the 2014 Los Angeles Film Festival, which opens Wednesday night with Snowpiercer. If you’re still on the fence about which films and events to check out, here are some hints from Programmer Roya Rastegar, Festival Director Stephanie Allain and Senior Programmer Maggie Mackay.

Los Angeles
“…it’s the essence, the feeling of Los Angeles and what it’s meant for so many different kinds of people…”—Roya

Master Classes
“…three amazing nights with artists who are at the top of their game.”—Stephanie

Club Sandwich
“Any mother, any son, anybody who’s known a mother and son will enjoy this.”—Maggie

Stray Dog
“There is nobody more delightful to watch on screen, more heartbreaking to watch on screen than Ronnie Hall.”—Maggie
