NALIP Conference 10: A Decade of Influence


NALIP 10: A DECADE OF INFLUENCE will be held April 17 - 19, 2009 at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach, California. The event is organized as a professional education and networking opportunity. Speakers bring analyses of Latinos in the film, documentary and television worlds while projecting trends of relevance to us all. Awards celebrate past triumphs and recognize rising talents. Artists hold intimate conversations about their craft. Workshops teach skills for emerging and mid-career makers. Pitch and screening events showcase talent. Meeting series like the concurrent Latino Media Market make matches between executives, funders and projects.

NALIP 10: A DECADE OF INFLUENCE will recognize the landmark status of the National Association of Latino Independent Producers, our Conference and our member makers. So much has changed since NALIP first convened concerned artists and activists in San Francisco in 1999. So much progress can be recognized, while so much more is left to do.

HBO, Time Warner and the National Latino Media Council present this year’s Conference, chaired by Columbia University professor/ filmmaker Frances Negrón-Muntaner (WAR IN GUAM), producer/ executive David Ortiz (WANTED, HELLBOY 2), and writer/producer Ligiah Villalobos (LA MISMA LUNA).
