OPENING NIGHT FILM AND GALA

On Wednesday, May 31st, LALIFF kicks off with a screening and gala celebrating the West Coast premiere of Eva Longoria's acclaimed Flamin' Hot, which tells the fictional story of Richard Montañez, the Frito Lay janitor who channeled his Mexican American heritage to turn the iconic Cheetos into a snack that disrupted the food industry and became a global pop culture phenomenon.

The outstanding cast of the film includes Jesse Garcia, Annie Gonzales, Dennis Haysbert, and Emilio Rivera, among others. The screening will be followed by a gala with live musical performances, featuring La Misa Negra.
