Mar 7, 2023 - Lit&Luz Festival at La Casa Del Cine, Mexico City
We kicked-off the 2023 Lit&Luz Festival in Mexico City with a double screening of Nuestra Herencia: Legacy Film Project at La Casa del Cine MX! Honored to be the only film program as part of this year's festival - we had an amazing Q&A after the screening. At its heart, Lit & Luz is a cultural exchange between writers and visual artists from Mexico and United States. With the festival taking place first in Chicago, then Mexico City, it is a conversation between two countries - and a perfect partner for our film!
