Starz Entertainment to Host After Party for 11th Annual Hollywood Film Festival Awards Show

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Starz Entertainment (Starz) and The Hollywood Film Festival are again joining forces for the Starz Hollywood Awards(R) After Party. This is the second year Starz has sponsored the post-awards show fete poolside at the Beverly Hilton immediately following the 11th Annual Hollywood Awards(R) Gala on Monday, October 22.

Celebrating the 11th Annual Hollywood Film Festival, the After Party will wrap up a week of screenings and special presentations at Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. This year's lineup includes the world premiere of the Starz Originals production, "Bloodsucking Cinema," a film celebrating one of the most enduring genres of all time: the vampire movie. On October 22, the festival culminates with the prestigious Hollywood Awards(R) Gala, which honors established Hollywood and international talent and emerging filmmakers, followed by the Starz Hollywood Awards(R) After Party, whose attendees last year included Robin Williams, Forest Whitaker, Laurence Fishburne, DJ Lethal and more.

"The Hollywood Film Festival has proven to be an ideal partner for us as we share a commitment to excellence in the movie industry and the art of filmmaking," says Stephan Shelanski, Starz executive vice-president of programming. "We are honored to once again be the presenting sponsor of the Hollywood Film Festival and host the Starz Hollywood Awards(R) After Party at the legendary Beverly Hilton."

"It's great for Starz to provide the opportunity for guests to unwind after the Hollywood Awards Gala, and we are grateful for their generous participation," added Carlos de Abreu, executive director for the Hollywood Film Festival. "I am extremely pleased Starz has renewed its involvement with us as the presenting sponsor as their support takes us to the next level."

As host of the star-studded Starz Hollywood Awards(R) After Party, Starz is pleased to return to the timeless Beverly Hilton, which has recently undergone an $80 million renovation. Located poolside, the one-year-old restaurant Circa 55 and the newly-relocated Trader Vic's are testament to the hotel's blend of old Hollywood style with a contemporary twist.

The Starz Hollywood Awards(R) After Party is being produced again by Joe Moller Events whose innovative visions and expertise appropriately match the level of celebrity cachet in attendance at the festival. "When producing a high profile party such as this one, the challenge is producing an event that exceeds everyone's expectations, and this year's party will not disappoint," added Moller. "I am proud to have earned the opportunity to work with Starz again this year." This year guests will once again enjoy music provided by Beverly Hills native DJ. GOC (Les Deux).
