LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes presents the LOMA Film Festival. The Latinas & Latinos of Mixed Ancestry (LOMA) Film Festival has been created to share the stories of people that embody the intersection of Latinos and non-Latinos. Latino culture was built on the interaction between diverse communities from all over the world. This festival shares how this tradition continues creating a new diverse Latino community.
All selected filmmakers are invited to VIP reception with invited press. This season we are offering an expanded festival with even more screening times allowing to show more films!
