Description

LIFE is the first film festival to focus on the works of Latina directors. It was created by Josefina Lopez to build a network of Latina filmmakers and to increase awareness of the growing number of Latinas working behind the camera. The films of these women constitute a body of work that act as a powerful statement against the stereotypical portrayals of Latinas on screen. The events at LIFE will provide a great opportunity for networking and conversation with the Latina filmmaking community. We will be hosting an Opening Night Gala and Opening Mixer and Closing Night Ceremony.
