Palm Springs is the coolest city for nudists to vacation in. We have such a celebrity history. Even our resort, The Terra Cotta Inn clothing optional resort and spa was once a celebrity resort where Marilyn Monroe, Spencer Tracy, Frank Sinatra, Desi & Lucy, and many more celebrities used to stay.
Every January, there is the annual Palm Springs Film Festival which is open to the general public. Last year 122,000 people saw the films.
What is so nice about the Palm Springs film festival is the general public is invited to attend the red carpet galas for the price of an admission.
We have many guests who come here to see the films. They relax, nude sunbathing all day long and see the movies at night. Our guests are always telling us the celebrities that they have seen. And the Palm Springs film festival is much more informal than for instance the Canne film festival in France because Palm Springs is considered the "back yard" of Hollywood, so many directors, producers, actors, and actresses attend the movies even if they themselves aren't in any of the films.
This year the festival will be better tahn ever as it is the 20th anniversary of the Palm Springs Film Festival.
Here is the information about this years show:
"Palm Springs film fest shuffles schedule, to hold gala early in week
Announcements about tickets going on sale for the 20th Palm Springs International Film Festival to be held Jan. 6-19 include the surprise that the Black Tie Awards Gala will not be on the first Saturday of the festival as it has in the past but on Jan. 6. The opening night film will be on Jan. 8.
The awards gala is the most star-studded event of the festival, which screens hundreds of independent and foreign films. In past years, honorees attending have included Brad Pitt, John Travolta, Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett and Samuel L. Jackson.
Mary Hart will return for the sixth year to host the awards show.
"Opening the festival with the gala we thought would be an exciting way to launch the 20th anniversary," said Harold Matzner, chairman of the Palm Springs International Film Festival Society. "The thinking is the awards show generates a tremendous amount of publicity and attention, and opening with it will create more excitement and coverage..."
"This awards show... It's very well supported... "It has tremendous star power. It's mind-boggling..."
"The festival has grown every year for last eight years. The awards gala is covered by every nationally-syndicated entertainment show," he said. "The festival is hot, the awards gala is hot and it will have a very strong show."
