About this event
NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA)’s August line-up celebrates emerging filmmakers both near and far, featuring InFocus: International Animation, a program of exciting animated work from all around the world, a selection of California-made short films and a collection of work made in the city of Los Angeles.
The day begins with shorts program InFocus: International Animation, a slate of animated films and stories from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Netherlands and USA by an array of international talent. The program encompasses a variety of animation styles that capture our imaginations and tell powerful stories.
The afternoon’s programming continues Made in Los Angeles, a closer look at the city of Los Angeles through a selection of short form storytelling that explores relationship dynamics, cultural identity, staying true to our values, our unhoused neighbors, and grief, all made right here in LA.
The night concludes with Made In California, a selection of films shot throughout the versatile state of California, from the wilderness to the city to the suburbs to the desert to the beach. The Californian stories gathered here are full of laughs, pain, perseverance and reverence.
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. This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
The South Park Center is an ADA compliant venue and is wheelchair accessible. We request captioned films from all filmmakers participating at our Festival. For any accessibility needs, please send a request to info@nfmla.org at least 72 hours prior to the event.
