‘I feel that Los Angeles will be forever changed after this,’ says Guinevere Alcaraz. ‘But to see the response of the city has been so inspiring.’ ⁠ ⁠ The 2025 Deutsche Bank Frieze Los Angeles Film Award Fellow is talking about the recent Los Angeles fires, but the comment profoundly applies to the theme of this year’s competition – ‘Togetherness’. The six LA-based filmmakers talk about it and their films in this video.⁠ ⁠ ‘Sexy Villains’ by Guinevere Alcaraz follows two friends on a chaotic night out in LA.⁠ ⁠ ‘Grief Cannot Exist Without Joy’ by Ja’Lisa Arnold focuses on the bond between a musician and his dead brother.⁠ ⁠ ‘Red Pocket’ by Austin Chen is about a family dinner interrupted by a surreal windfall.⁠ ⁠ ‘The Pit’ by Nicole Mairose Dizon is a meditative portrait of a Californian mining community.⁠ ⁠ ‘Reprogrammed’ by Christopher Guerrero looks at a young woman creating an artificial intelligence.⁠ ⁠ ‘Estrella’ by Sophia Lafaurie-Muñoz features a cosmic journey for a young girl and her animated guide.⁠ ⁠ To watch all the films and vote in the Audience Award go to https://lnkd.in/et9hf3Vr (closes February 17) ⁠ ‘With everything that’s going on in the world,’ says DB Film Award Fellow Ja’Lisa Arnold, ‘it’s more important than ever to be telling stories.’⁠ ⁠ #FriezeLA⁠ #Frieze⁠ LAFilmAward⁠ #deutschebankcollection⁠ #positiveimpact ⁠
