Local student filmmakers are gearing up to showcase their creations at the second annual "Las Po Film Fest."
“We’re excited once again to bring the Las Po Film Fest to our community and offer a platform for student filmmakers to showcase their talent and creativity,” said festival co-director Elizabeth Wing Brooks.
The Las Positas College (LPC) Film Studies and Photography programs will host the Las Po Film Fest on April 13 on the main stage theater at the Mertes Center for the Arts.
The festival will feature diverse short films made by LPC student filmmakers, as well as LPC alumni and student filmmakers from other local community colleges and high schools.
“This festival provides an opportunity for both aspiring filmmakers and film enthusiasts to come together and appreciate the art of filmmaking,” said Brooks.
The short films range from narratives and documentaries to experimental, animation and music videos.
The festival will begin with a reception at 6 p.m. that will feature a movie poster exhibit, refreshments and pictures on the red carpet.
