LatinX in Animation (LXiA) unearths the exceptional, diverse talent that exists within the animation, VFX, and gaming industries. They wield the power of artmaking to champion the growth of LatinX diversity in all facets of the animation industry by organizing activities and events focused on networking, camaraderie, community service, education, communication, and professional development. LXiA provides resources to promote and develop artists and decision-makers in the animation, VFX, and gaming industries.

The Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival (LALIFF) is the premier international event dedicated to reveling in the Latino human experience through film, television, music, visual art, or any form of expression that defies category. With five days of both in-person and virtual screenings, masterclasses, panels, and performances, LALIFF is a garden of creativity and a celebration of Latino life.

The LFI Inclusion Fellowship is an ongoing program focused on building a more inclusive and equitable industry for all members of the Latinx community. The fellowship focuses its resources on championing underrepresented filmmakers within the Latino community, granting each fellow $30,000 to produce a short film, along with individualized mentorship and industry networking opportunities.
