Los Angeles Film Festival 2012

Café Latino

(60 mins)

From a small Cuban fishing village and the vast deserts of Northern Mexico to the streets of Buenos Aires and Recife, the films of the Los Angeles Film Festival offer a window into the Latin American landscape and the stories of its indigenous, rural and urban communities.

Join us as the filmmakers behind some of Cine Latino's films explore their roles as storytellers in an increasingly global world and compare notes about their filmmaking experiences in the regions.

Panelists include José Alvarez, writer/director, Canícula; Alejandro Brugués , writer/director, Juan of the Dead; Everardo González, director/cinematographer, Drought; Arturo Pons, writer/director, The Compass is Carried by the Dead Man; Bernardo Ruiz, director, Reportero; Dominga Sotomayor, writer/director, Thursday till Sunday.
