Culver City to welcome the Los Angeles Brazilian Film Festival

LABRFF

LABRFF is celebrating 16 years and will offer more than 30 films at the “The Culver Theater”

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, May 25, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Celebrating its 16th anniversary, the Los Angeles Brazilian Film Festival (LABRFF) has announced that submissions are now open. An Opening Night Gala will kick off the festival at the new “The Culver Theater” owned by Amazon Studios. The festival will open with a red-carpet event, a premiere film, and a cocktail party. “LABRFF is proud to present a diverse line-up of independent storytellers. The festival has seen tremendous growth, allowing us to showcase and nurture important voices that the world needs to hear”, said Meire Fernandes, LABRFF founder.

The Culver Steps it’s a true oasis in the heart of a bustling urban hub, with park-like green spaces, inviting terraces, and a grassy knoll. It’s a go-to spot for both shopping and dining, with a growing lineup of curated retailers. It’s a vibrant community gathering place with an iconic set of steps that set the stage for a constant hum of activity—from happy hours to outdoor movies, concerts, and more.

This year LABRFF brings the Kids selection into the festival’s attempt to bring independent films to a historically under-represented audience – children. Each year, a small selection of family-friend independent films will be presented for young audiences, to help them develop an appreciation for movies that don't screen in multiplexes, have expanded universes, or merchandise tie-ins with major toy companies. Also, the festival is happy to announce that Faith-Based and
Environmental films will also be included in the festival.
