A quest for a sister who has gone missing, the downfall of a flamenco dancer, and an escape plan devised by a cockatiel were among the narratives presented during the New Filmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) annual InFocus: Latin & Hispanic Cinema program. Held in September, the event featured impactful and thought-provoking independent films created by emerging filmmakers from various countries including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain, Venezuela, Canada, and the United States. It began with an opening reception where all-access pass holders were treated to complimentary refreshments from Pink’s Hot Dogs and signature cocktails crafted with handcrafted tequila and mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, by The Lost Explorer. The day’s first film segment, InFocus: Latin & Hispanic Cinema I, showcased coming-of-age narrative shorts centered on family dynamics, self-acceptance, and the transcending of time, space, and borders. To honor Hispanic Heritage Month, Miguel Santana, president and CEO of the California Community Foundation, delivered the opening remarks. The program proceeded with InFocus: Latin & Hispanic Cinema II, a collection of narratives addressing themes such as injustice, inequality, systemic failures, and colonialism. The stories focused on the struggles for justice, building resilience, challenging limiting beliefs, and aspiring for a better future. The evening wrapped up with InFocus: Latin & Hispanic Cinema III, which emphasized the significance of human connections through tales of loss, love, and letting go. NFMLA presents films created by filmmakers of all backgrounds year-round, featuring both general and InFocus categories. All filmmakers are invited and encouraged to submit their works for consideration at upcoming NFMLA Festivals, irrespective of the InFocus programming schedule, which aims to highlight representation by centering on diverse filmmaker communities as part of the NFMLA Monthly Film Festival. This initiative is partly supported by grants from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
