Los Angeles.– Movies from Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Puerto Rico are being screened as part of the 12th annual International Latino Film Festival which started this week in Redwood City, California, with free films at local community colleges.

Today and Sunday, five films will be featured at the Century 20 in downtown Redwood City. "Postcards from Leningrad," which shows tonight, tells the story of a young girl born into a socialist uprising in 1960s Venezuela. The film by Mariana Rondon was nominated by Venezuela for the 2008 Oscars.

On Sunday, the film "Lovesickness," or "Maldeamores" in Spanish, "is a look at how love makes us crazy by entangling us in its deviously complicated web," according to a description from festival organizers. It is produced by Academy Award-winning actor Benicio del Toro.

"What are the best Dominican comedies?"

Lie-onel, the PLD, his three terms as Dictator and the best of all, the METRO, which gets laughs all over the world in every language!
