Los Angeles City Council District 13, Office of Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez, is proud to partner with the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre and Department of Cultural Affairs to present "Lens on Life" – a new monthly film screening series, to be held on the third Wednesday of every month, in the beautiful 300-seat Barnsdall Gallery Theatre.
For our July screening of the series on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, we will be screening two short films and one feature length documentary focused on the theme of Queer identity and empowerment, especially through the lens of communities of color.
After the screenings, we will host a panel discussion with the filmmakers behind each short, moderated by Bamby Salcedo, founder and CEO of the Translatin@ Coalition.
The event will also provide an opportunity for attendees to connect with several organizations doing amazing work in Los Angeles, including:
Translatin@ Coalition
The One Institute
New Filmmakers Los Angeles
Department of Cultural Affairs
