Join a groundbreaking celebration! This milestone event unites two visionary festivals and a historic cultural institution under one banner, combining storytelling, heritage, and creativity:
-East LA Film Festival’s 17th Annual Film Festival, founded by Juan Escobedo
-The Panamanian International Film Festival/LA, founded by Carlos Carrasco
-LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, a cornerstone of cultural preservation in Los Angeles
Together, these collaborators bring a bold new initiative that merges resources, talent, and films from around the world.
