LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes and The East LA Society of Film and Arts (TELASOFA) proudly present TAKE 3, a groundbreaking celebration. This milestone event unites three visionary festivals under one banner, combining storytelling, culture and creativity: ELAFF’s 17th Annual Film Festival, founded by Juan Escobed; The Panamanian International Film Festival/LA, founded by Carlos Carrasco, Cine Sin Cines, founded by Elpidia Carrillo.

Together, these trailblazing festivals bring a new collaborative initiative that merges resources, talent and films from around the world.
