Featured Session: 2020 Hollywood Diversity Report + Latino Film Institute

How do you close the achievement and opportunity gap for minorities in the entertainment industry?

Please join Academy Award Nominee Edward James Olmos and the team behind the Latino Film Institute for a presentation on the groundbreaking programs advancing marginalized communities in Hollywood. The panel will include a special presentation by Dr. Ana-Christina Ramon, co-author of the 2020 Hollywood Diversity Report. This panel will discuss the ideas and programs that LFI has placed into action to address the lack of representation in Hollywood and focus on the next generation of content creators.

Through its Signature Programs that include the LA Latino International Film Festival, Youth Cinema Project, and LatinX in Animation, LFI is increasing the number of artists from emerging communities and shaping the entertainment industry's multicultural future. LFI's Signature Programs develop, empower, and support students, artists, creators, and executives through pathways and platforms for the expression and appreciation of their work.
