We love good stories, and we’ve spent 17 years seeking international stories and storytellers. LABRFF inspires a lot of independent filmmakers from around the world, especially from Brazil and South America. The festival entertains and brings unforgettable and unimaginable emotions. LABRFF tries through its programming to impact the lives of thousands of people and intentionally curates its films to bring diversity and pluralism to its audience.

This year LABRFF brings the Kid’s selection into the festival’s attempt to bring independent films to a historically under-represented audience – children. Each year, a small selection of family-friend independent films will be presented for young audiences, to help them develop an appreciation for movies that don’t screen in multiplexes, have expanded universes, or merchandise tie-ins with major toy companies. Also, the festival is happy to announce that Faith-Based and Environmental films will also be included in the festival.
