FESTIVAL INFO November 6 - 7 - 8, 2009 Charles B. Wang Center, Stony Brook University Long Island, New York The Long Island Latino International Film Festival was created to celebrate and showcase the finest in Latino filmmaking. Now in our 5th year LILIFF continues to build its reputation by presenting exceptional works by or about Latinos. Last year’s opening night films was a romantic dramedy short “Mayor O Menor” and the world premier of “Bracero Stories”. Our closing night film was by Francisco Franco’s “Quemar Las Naves”, for which Irene Azuela took home the best actress Golden Ariel at Mexico’s 2008 Ariel Awards. Our festival is open to both the United States and the International film community. We have screened films such as Gabriela Bohm’s “The Longing” Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Daniel Carrera’s “Primera Comunion” Mexico and Yan Giroux’s “Cubanos-Life and Death of a Revolution” Cuba. LILIFF is committed to bringing compelling films with powerful storytelling to Long Island, which is home to over 350,000 Hispanics and growing. Participating filmmakers receive VIP all access passes to screenings, special events and after parties and are encouraged to participate in Q&A sessions following the screening of their film. This year Mezcla Media Market, Inc. is producing LILIFF at the Charles B. Wang Center thanks to the sponsorship and partnership with Stony Brook University Hispanic Heritage Month Committee, Latin American & Caribbean Studies Center (LACC) and Union Universitaria Latinoamericana (UUL). Join us at the Long Island Latino International Film Festival in celebrating our Hispanic Heritage, and supporting the art of filmmaking. We look forward to seeing you at the festival!
