NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) is thrilled to host the inaugural InFocus: Puglia Cinema program, initiated by and produced in partnership with Silvia Bizio, as part of the NFMLA Monthly Film Festival. The initiative is presented in partnership with the Apulia Film Commission.

NFMLA’s Monthly Film Festival multi-day programming begins on Thursday, May 30th, 2024 with InFocus: Puglia Cinema, a collection of new and exciting work by short film directors from the Italian region of Puglia that spans genres and highlights the diversity of locations available in Puglia. As the prolific independent filmmaker Abel Ferrara has said, “in Puglia anything is possible.”

The InFocus: Puglia Cinema screening will be free and open to the public at the Italian Cultural Institute of Los Angeles (Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Los Angeles).

Organized with the patronage of the Consulate General of Italy – Los Angeles, this project is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA).

NFMLA showcases films by filmmakers of all backgrounds throughout the year, across both our general and InFocus programming. All filmmakers are welcome and encouraged to submit their projects for consideration for upcoming NFMLA Festivals, regardless of the schedule for InFocus programming, which celebrates diversity, inclusion and region by spotlighting communities of filmmakers within our filmmaking community as part of our monthly program.

“Puglia Cinema in Hollywood” is a project created by the Apulia Film Commission Foundation, Puglia Region and PugliaPromozione using resources from the Puglia POC 2014/2020, Axis VI, Action 6.8.
