The Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival marks the start of the summer film season by showcasing films that reflect the experiences of U.S. Latinos and showcase productions from Latin America. This year's festival features several noteworthy films, including the documentary 'ASCO: Without Permission' about the 1970s Chicano art collective and 'Serious People', a satire set in L.A. Other notable screenings include '42nd Street', which delves into Dominican urban culture, and 'Beloved Tropic', highlighting the complexities of motherhood. The festival is a key platform for these stories, enriching the cultural tapestry of cinema.
"The events often serve as one of the only opportunities for L.A. audiences to experience and engage with the diverse stories of U.S. Latinos and Latin American productions."
"Filmmaker José María Cabral’s documentary explores Dominican urban culture, depicting the vibrancy and challenges inherent in the local dembow music scene through a unique narrative lens."
