SPECIAL NEWS:

This Saturday is the Los Angeles area premiere of INSPIRED: The Voices Against Prop 8 as the closing night film of The East L.A. International & Youth Film Festival (ELAFF). Plus see the short film "Philippes Sandwich" starting Rico Rodriguez (Modern Family's Manny) and meet him live in person!

INSPIRED: THE VOICES AGAINST PROP 8 is proud to be the Closing Night Film for the 2011 East Los Angeles Film Festival. We will screen at Self Help Graphics in Boyle Heights. Tickets are $10 at the door.

Self Help Graphics is a nationally recognized center for Latino arts that seeks to advance Latino art broadly through programming, exhibitions and outreach to diverse audiences in East Los Angeles and beyond. 

The East Los Angeles Society of Film and Arts proudly announces the 5th East L.A. International & Youth Film Festival. The festival’s mission is to bridge the gap between The Hollywood entertainment industry and the international film community with films that “provoke thought and inspire solutions,” reflective of today’s youth, environmental, political and social issues. They actively seek a diverse array of films written, directed, and produced by youth, along with films by more seasoned filmmakers that address critical issues affecting young people throughout the world today. It provides a venue for talented filmmakers to screen their works in a professional setting, and to receive recognition for their achievements. 

While centered in East Los Angeles, the festival will utilize a variety of venues in the Los Angeles/Hollywood area for film screenings and associated activities. Thanks to the recently-opened light rail service to East L.A., participants can commute easily and quickly to all the venues of the festival from the center of Hollywood , historic downtown LA and enjoy the charm of East L.A.’s restaurants, shops, and galleries. Come explore East L.A.’s unique and diverse cultural history, including being the home of numerous historic synagogues, the oldest Chinese shrine in the U.S, the Latino Walk of Fame, and the largest Hispanic community in the United States. For your chance to reach an international audience and screen your film in the movie capital of the world, submit your film today.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A and reception run by the Latino Equality Alliance. This will include INSPIRED director Charlie Gage, film cast and community leaders. Plus food and drinks!

There is street parking but all attendees are strongly recommended to take the East LA Metro Gold Line.
