Due to the persistent wildfires in Los Angeles, the Mammoth Film Festival has decided to reschedule its 2025 edition, which was initially planned for February 20-24 in Mammoth Lakes, California.
Unexpected and disastrous wildfires that occurred in the state have not only harmed the local environment and infrastructure but have also influenced the ability of travelers to attend and participate in the festival,” the festival, which started in 2018, noted in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter.
The Mammoth festival in the Sierra Madre Mountains of California typically manages inclement weather like snowstorms and strong winds, yet the devastating impact of wildfires in Los Angeles County has compounded the logistical difficulties that the event now encounters.
As a gamer, it feels like I’ve been battling an unbeatable fire boss across Southern California for days now. This relentless inferno has claimed at least 11 lives so far, and it seems to have razed over 12,000 structures since it ignited on Tuesday. The scorched earth covers about 56 square miles – a devastatingly large game map that I can’t help but feel powerless against.
Organizers of the festival in 2025 are worried about securing independent filmmakers, actors, directors, writers, and producers, as well as their work, but they also face the challenge that film buyers from Los Angeles, including those representing major streaming services, might not be able to attend the event to watch and buy indie films that are part of the official selection.

2025’s event date remains undetermined at this point. The increase in costs related to organizing events in Mammoth Lakes has been a significant consideration, contributing to the decision to reschedule this year’s festival.
Tanner Beard and Tomik Mansoori, the festival’s creators, expressed that they take great pride in offering a unique platform for independent filmmakers and artists. They believe this postponement will help maintain the exceptional quality that characterizes the Mammoth Film Festival. In their own words.
Many Hollywood events such as award ceremonies and film premieres, notably the Critics Choice Awards and the announcement of Oscar nominations, have either been postponed or canceled altogether because of the fires. These significant events have been rescheduled.
Moreover, numerous personalities from the entertainment industry have shared that they lost their homes due to the fires. This list includes Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal, Mel Gibson, Jeff Bridges, Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Paris Hilton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Diane Warren, and Cary Elwes.
