Individual tickets for the Los Angeles Film Festival go on sale today! And what better way to announce the opening of ticket sales to everyone than with the announcement of both the Festival’s annual Family Day on June 15, this year sponsored by Hasbro Studios — and concluding with the world premiere of their newest film My Little Pony Equestria Girls?

FAMILY DAY is open to the public, and will be held at Nokia Plaza at L.A. LIVE on Saturday, June 15 from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm. Five popular Hasbro Studios properties will take over L.A. LIVE’s Nokia Plaza with a lineup of activities inspired by the popular My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Kaijudo, Transformers Rescue Bots, Transformers Prime and Littlest Pet Shop animated programs.

A day of fun for the whole family will feature character appearances, a digital gaming area, photo booth, coloring station, entertainment lounge, giveaways and more. A real fire truck and police car will be on hand for an interactive Transformers Rescue Bots experience, families will be invited to “Pony-fy” themselves to look like the stylish My Little Pony Equestria Girls characters, and the Littlest Pet Shop section will feature a balloon animals and face painting.

The centerpiece will be a premiere screening of My Little Pony Equestria Girls, a new full-length feature introducing a whole new dimension into the world of My Little Pony. When a crown is stolen from the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle pursues the thief into an alternate world where she transforms into a teenage girl who must survive her biggest challenge yet…high school. With help from her new friends who remind her of Ponyville’s Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, she embarks upon a quest to find the crown and change the destiny of these two parallel worlds.

More Music & Film to Go With Your Family Fun

In addition to Family Day, we’re also announcing the World Premiere Gala screening of the documentary Levitated Mass on June 20 at LACMA’s Bing Theater and, as part of the Music in Film Nights at The GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE, The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble will perform live and discuss the documentary The Brothers Hypnotic, which is screening as part of the Festival’s Summer Showcase.

Hosted by KCRW’s DJ Dan Wilcox, the evening will include a performance and discussion with the jazz group and features clips from the documentary The Brothers Hypnotic, which is screening at this year’s Festival as part of the Summer Showcase.

Moderated by Film Independent at LACMA curator Elvis Mitchell, the Oscar®-winning film composer behind such films as The Motorcycle Diaries, Brokeback Mountain and Babel will explore a selection of his favorite scores of all time and lead us in a discovery of new sounds that will enlighten and surprise us.

World Premiere Gala screening of the documentary Levitated Mass: The Story of Michael Heizer’s Monolithic Sculpture on June 20 at 7:30 pm, taking place at the Bing Theater at LACMA — just a stone’s throw away from where artist Michael Heizer’s famed boulder resides. Prominently displayed outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, renowned and reclusive land artist Michael Heizer’s “Levitated Mass” gained worldwide recognition during its installation in 2012.

Over the course of 10 nights, a 340-ton solid granite boulder crawled through Southern California neighborhoods on a 294-foot-long, 206-wheeled trailer, drawing hundreds of camera crews and cell phone shooters alike to document its journey. “Levitated Mass” is one of the only pieces of art in recent history to inspire such a reaction in pop culture, bringing together the art community, public officials and the general population to debate the merits and pitfalls of a giant stone suspended above their heads.

The film takes on Heizer’s passion for this piece and masterfully interweaves this influential artist’s biography with the backstory of the art (originally conceptualized in 1968), the dreams of a major museum, and the uniting of a city, examining the perennial question: “What is art?” The film is produced by Lynette Howell and Jamie Patricoff of Electric City.
