THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 8PM.
We are excited to announce the next installment of our ongoing iotaSalon series, a selection of beautiful and provocative works from the Punto y Raya Festival 2016 to screen at the Echo Park Film Center on Thursday, March 23. Punto y Raya has been dubbed ‘the most abstract film festival in the world’ by the Japanese press. Based in Barcelona, Spain, the festival criss-crosses the globe with each year’s award-winning films, representing the best of contemporary abstract film. The 85-minute Best-Of program showcases experimental narrative expressions using pure form, color, motion, and sound, avoiding direct representation and bringing people together with imagery that is current, universal and timeless.
The event will be held at the Echo Park Film Center, 1200 N. Alvarado St., Los Angeles, 90026
