New Filmmakers Los Angeles BritWeek

NewFilmmakers Los Angeles is thrilled to grow its abundant catalogue of global cinema by partnering with Britweek to present two programs of stunning British independent film. From a dystopian London, to a young woman’s descent into an alluring clandestine world, to a tale of brotherhood across borders and fragile peace in the midst of wartime, to a forbidden love story told through breathtaking modern dance, these stories whisk us away to the U.K. that was, the U.K. that is, and the U.K. that could be.

In addition to several other events perfect for Anglophiles, BritWeek and NFMLA are exhibiting a Focus on British Short Film on April 27 at the AT&T Center. Attendees will be treated to a total of nine short indie films followed by Q&As and open bar receptions. “From a dystopian London, to a young woman’s descent into an alluring clandestine world, to a tale of brotherhood across borders and fragile peace in the midst of wartime, to a forbidden love story told through breathtaking modern dance, these stories whisk us away to the U.K. that was, the U.K. that is, and the U.K. that could be,” reads BritWeek’s website.
