20th LA Skins Fest Opens November 18 in Hollywood: Five Days of Native Film Screenings and Industry Events at the TCL Chinese Theatre
The 20th annual LA Skins Fest, a festival of Native and Indigenous film, runs November 18-22 at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The festival is an endeavor of the Barcid Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and for twenty years has brought together Indigenous filmmakers, television creators, actors, producers and audiences from across North America. The Los Angeles tourism board says this year's festival will screen more than 30 films.
The festival opens on November 18 with its annual Industry Mixer, presented by Creative Artists Agency (CAA), from 7 to 9 p.m., welcoming invited filmmakers, Native American Media Alliance program fellows, community leaders and supporters.
On November 19, a special screening of the series North of North is presented by Netflix. On November 20, an afternoon session looks at how the first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power was dubbed into the Cherokee language by more than thirty Cherokee speakers and learners working across directing, voice acting, translation and audio engineering. That evening at 7 p.m., the Opening Night Screening Short Film Program 1, sponsored by Amazon MGM Studios, screens a block of Indigenous short films.
The TCL Chinese 6 Theatres are on the third level at 6801 Hollywood Blvd, with some industry events in the Chinese Theatre VIP Lounge at 6925 Hollywood Blvd. The full schedule and ticket information are published on the festival's official website.
