Since 2008, The East LA Society of Film and Arts (TELASOFA), whose mission is “ to heal children and families through art and film”  has produced the East LA Film Festival (ELAFF) to showcase all the films produced by our East LA Youth with other LA County Cities and Hollywood working professionals. The festival has created many opportunities for our YOUTH in East LA. We grew little by little and now we showcase films from around the world alongside our very own East Los filmmakers of all ages.
