The Mammoth Film Festival has been postponed over the still-raging Los Angles wildfires, and the February festival, held since 2018 in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., did not immediately announce an alternative date.
The tourist-friendly ski town, 300 miles north of L.A. high in the Sierra Madre Mountains, was not directly affected by the sweeping wildfires devastating Southern California’s most populous region. But the connection, and reason for postponement, was self-evident:
“The devastating and unforeseen wildfire tragedies in the state have not only affected the region’s environment and infrastructure but have also impacted travel and attendance capabilities for potential festivalgoers,” the festival said in a statement.
