I am happy that GLENDALE PARADISE will finally screen in Los Angeles for the first time on May 12th at the European Short Film Night. The program starts at 6 pm and is organized by the Italian Cultural Institute in Los Angeles, in cooperation with the Consulates of Austria, Belgium, and Poland, as well as the Goethe-Institut and the Instituto Cervantes.
This special program brings together a curated selection of short films from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain, offering a snapshot of today’s European storytelling. Each film engages with the theme of truth, moving across genres and aesthetics to reflect the diversity, creativity, and shared cultural dialogue that shape Europe today. The screening will be followed by a conversation with experts from the film and cultural sectors, and will continue with a reception featuring national specialties from the participating countries.
This evening is part of a European Short Film Series presented by the EUNIC Cluster in Los Angeles.



I can’t wait to be there again. 🙂
