Long Beach International Film Festival 2023 (In Person)

LBIFF 2023 Presents a series of Short Films.

Contagious Swagger - Contagious Swagger is a branded entertainment romantic comedy film about a Black young man visiting his Asian girlfriends' parents house for dinner for the first time. His Air Jordan footwear could be the answer to solve a dramatic forbidden love story.

Good Grief - A grieving mother and an ambitious young woman reach an unlikely peace while coming to terms with the death of the boy they both loved.

Philadelphia Bound - When fate provides Tommy with the chance to finally move out of the old neighborhood, he must decide if he is willing to leave behind everything he has ever known and loved.

Izzy - Following a series of increasingly catastrophic first dates, Izzy discovers an online dating site with a twist: 100% satisfaction guaranteed. A shortcut to a soul mate? Possibly; if the stunning and seemingly perfect Persy has anything to say about it.

La Bolita - Meet 6-year-old Benny Blanco. It’s 1978 and his young Cuban Exile mother has scored an easy gig working for the local bookie hosting her phone line to get the week’s winning numbers. What could go wrong? But when Benny goes too far playing sheriff with the bookie, she realizes this “easy” gig was far more dangerous than she bargained for.
