Event Information
Description
THE LATINX FILM AND THEATRE ASSOCIATION invites you to the very first annual Latinx Film Festival at UCLA. Join us for two evenings of short films including fiction, documentary, music videos, experimental, spoken word, animation, and web episodic works. Both nights, our Shorts Programs will be followed by a conversation with industry professionals, who will share their experiences and knowledge with the community.
We seek to encourage the creation of art while cultivating activism and expanding Latinx representation in the film industry. Our purpose is to challenge and innovate the mainstream American narrative with inclusivity, social justice, and empowerment of The People. Our wish is that the first Latinx Film Festival will infuse new and transformative energy into our communities in Los Angeles and the film industry at large.
Tickets are FREE!!! The event will start at 5 pm and end at 9 pm on the evenings of Friday, January 25th and Saturday, January 26th. Refreshments will also be served! Latinx panelists with influence in the film community will also be present!
