DLAFF News
DLAFF, "Paraiso Travel", Pre-Screening, Odeon Covent Garden
Discovering Latin American (DLA) is proud to present the inaugural event at this year’s film festival, the 8th Edition of the Discovering Latin American Film Festival (DLAFF). With proceedings kicking-off officially on 26 November 2009, the pre-screening is the first chance to get a taste of the DLAFF, and an excellent opportunity to see Simon Brand’s multi-award winning film, Paraiso Travel. The DLAFF is the UK’s largest Latin American film festival, and this year will be very pleased to donate all proceeds to Kiya Survivors.
Simon Brand’s feature follows the fate of two young Colombians who leave Bogota desperate to make-it-big in the US. Marlon and Reina embark on a brutal exodus from Latin America to New York across the Mexican border. Paraiso Travel is the story of young love, a love between two immigrants, and their fading dreams: a passionate story of courage, strength and devotion.
