As the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival (LALIFF) comes to an end on Sunday, June 6, there have been many highlights at the premiere film festival for Latinos on the West Coast. There are still 2 more days to enjoy the festival.
LALIFF launched with the opening film 7 & Union directed by Anthony Nardolillo. The cast and friends came out to shine on that night. The special premiere screening of In The Heights was a fast seller. We hope some of you were able to see the amazing film. There are still in-person and virtual screening still left to see. One of those films is the virtual screening of the documentary Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to To For It, about her life story and Hollywood. The documentary was directed by Mariem Pérez Riera.
Closing out the festival on Sunday, June 6 is the film Women is Losers, another American selection. Set in working-class San Francisco of the ’60s, the coming-of-age drama marks the directorial debut of Lissette Feliciano, who also wrote the screenplay.
