NFMLA十一月电影节11月14日举行：原住民电影单元与《Anima》洛杉矶首映同日登场
NewFilmmakers Los Angeles（NFMLA）十一月月度电影节将于11月14日在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县 Los Angeles 市中心的 South Park Center 举行，一天的节目由三个板块组成：短片精选 November Shorts、年度 InFocus: Indigenous Cinema 原住民电影单元，以及长片《Anima》的洛杉矶首映。
November Shorts 汇集本月短片佳作，题材包括街头艺术家面对移民期限、一场气氛紧张的家庭晚餐、亲人协助一名女子准备入狱服刑、女儿对母亲复杂的哀思、一家人消化战争的影响等故事。
InFocus: Indigenous Cinema 是 NFMLA 的年度单元，放映来自世界各地原住民讲述者的短片，内容涉及原住民传统的保存、对跨性别社群成员的庆祝、与祖先的连接、在两种文化之间生活，以及一抹反殖民题材的身体恐怖元素。
当晚以《Anima》收官。该片是编剧兼导演 Brian Tetsuro Ivie 的叙事长片导演首作，今年早些时候在 SXSW 举行世界首映，讲述两个戒备心很重的陌生人之间关于悲伤、连接与传承的故事。NFMLA 的这一项目得到洛杉矶市文化事务部（DCA）部分资助。场馆 South Park Center 位于 1139 S Hill St, Los Angeles，为无障碍场馆。
NFMLA November Film Festival Set for November 14: Indigenous Cinema Program and the Los Angeles Premiere of Anima
NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) hosts its November Monthly Film Festival on November 14 at the South Park Center in downtown Los Angeles, California. The single day of programming has three blocks: the November Shorts program, the annual InFocus: Indigenous Cinema program, and the Los Angeles premiere of the feature film Anima.
November Shorts is an eclectic mix of the month's short narratives, with stories about a street artist navigating an immigration deadline, a tense family dinner, a woman preparing to report to prison with the help of her loved ones, a daughter's complicated grief over her mother, and a family processing the effects of war.
InFocus: Indigenous Cinema, the festival's annual program, presents short films by Indigenous storytellers from around the world, with stories about the preservation of Indigenous traditions, the celebration of transgender community members, connecting to ancestors, navigating a life between two cultures, and a touch of anti-colonial body horror.
The evening concludes with Anima, the narrative directorial debut of writer-director Brian Tetsuro Ivie, which world-premiered earlier this year at SXSW and explores grief, connection and legacy through the relationship between two guarded strangers. The NFMLA project is supported in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. The South Park Center, at 1139 S Hill St, Los Angeles, is an ADA-compliant, wheelchair-accessible venue.
