Community Partners

This month, the NewFilmmakers Los Angeles In Focus series will be celebrating LGBT Pride month by spotlighting films from and about the LGBT community. On Saturday, June 27th, NFMLA will present one monthly film festival shorts program, followed by three In Focus: LGBT programs consisting of four shorts, a documentary feature, and a narrative feature.

First, arrive at 4:15 to see a plethora of different stories from the community and beyond during the two short film programs. Next, get an intimate look into the trials, tribulations, and incredible performances of the bravest voices from the Trans community in the Philippines in feature documentary Shunned. Then, quell your post-binge craving for more Orange is the New Black with Kittens in a Cage, a larger-than-life Women’s prison film that tells the story of ukelele-playing bad girl Junie Butler, her pyromaniac cellmate, a power-hungry prison matron, and an axe-murdering beauty queen.

In between films, make sure to mingle over cocktails and beats at the reception inside the AT&T center’s beautiful balcony and lounge. Order your tickets today to ensure that you get a seat–there might even be surprise performances in store!
