Welcome to La Peña! Promoting social justice & intercultural understanding through the arts since 1975.
Get ready to be moved, inspired and engaged! Join us for the 15th Annual Fist Up Film Festival for a world of thought-provoking cinema, carefully curated.
We’re thrilled to announce our collaboration with Fist Up Film Festival for October 2024! Presenting contemporary films that leave a lasting impact, inspire meaningful discussions, promote awareness, and encourage empathy.
This film festival uniquely bridges the gap between global and local communities, weaving together shared experiences from diverse backgrounds. These curated films amplify the voices of historically marginalized communities, honoring their stories and lived experiences. We invite you to be a part of this meaningful evening through our screenings and engaging Q&A sessions!
Admission is donation-based, with a suggested $15 contribution. Join us in celebrating the power of film and storytelling! You can also sign up to volunteer and come for free!
What would a film look like if it were a prayer? Come find out and receive this blessing.
