There are many reasons why Palm Springs homes for sale are in such demand—and one is that Coachella Valley is filled with diverse cultural and entertainment, from Stagecoach and the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival to the Palm Springs International Film Festival and the AMFM Fest, which takes place this Thursday, June 13 through Sunday, June 16.
What sets AMFM apart from other film festivals is that it features the independent artists, the ones who establish trends and define modern culture. These independent thinkers tend to create authentic works that often become catalysts for societal change—and are pretty compelling and entertaining as well.
Owners of real estate in Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta and beyond are lucky enough to enjoy close proximity to Cathedral City, which is the location of AMFM. Long considered a desert oasis, the entire region has been popular among artists, celebrities and politicians for nearly a century. With a past that includes a reputation as a haven during 1920 prohibition, a playground for the elite Hollywood crowd such as the Rat Pack, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Monroe during the 1950s and 1960s, through the vast arts and cultural activities that go on today, Coachella Valley is the perfect location for this incredible festival.
This week, AMFM will contribute to the rich history of the arts in Coachella Valley. The VIP Opening night Gala will feature live music and a gallery showcasing the work of Robert Zkerman, Craig Semetko, Dan Eldon, and Viggo Mortensen, among many others. The film screenings begins Friday, and there are many musical events to round out the event. Owners of real estate in Palm Desert, Indian Wells and La Quinta are thrilled to have such an event take place in the desert cities.
The AMFM festival is produced by Film 4 Change, an organization of people who believe that films can change the world.
