El Barrio Latino Children's Film Festival Presents CUATROJOS - A Peruvian Short Film Based On The Book By Gloria Portugal

The Hispanic Federation will host its 10th Annual Children's Film Festival at the Julia de Burgos Performance and Arts Center. This festival is one of the first and only film festivals to focus on the exhibition and promotion of children's cinema made in Latin America. As part of its program "Cuatrojos, un cuento version clown" will be screened this December 3rd at 1:30 p.m.

"Cuatrojos" tells the story of a sensitive and curious girl who loves reading and poetry and suffers from bullying. This production is one of the few and essential audiovisual projects which focus on encouraging reading habits in boys and girls, as well as developing empathy with those children who are victims of verbal abuse at school.
