For those of you lucky enough to see Lykke Li last night at Hollywood Forever Masonic Lodge know that homegirl put on a good show.

There's nothing more that we love here at The Scenestar than a good show coming to town, but when there isn't, we love to catch a movie or two. Lucky for us, the upcoming Los Angeles Film Festival gives us a chance to combine both! The Los Angeles Film Festival will be taking place June 18th - 28th in Westwood and surrounding venues bringing us new films and interesting events.
In relation to music, there's always their yearly music video series, but there's always some interesting musically themed films.
