The Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival (LALIFF) will be screening Director Sergio Guerrero Garzafox's film Blursday on Saturday, June 5th at 4:00 p.m. PST at TCL's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Auditorium 1. https://laliff.org/

Blursday is a unique and profound film about loss, love and pregnancy shot during the Covid-19 lockdown. A mirror on human behavior told by three real couples, in their own apartments in Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Buenos Aires in a hybrid production shot via Zoom and in person.

The film stars Marimar Vega, Horacio Pancheri, Sarah Chang, Vincent Soberano, Allison Walter and Sam Brittan.

"On Blursday, I wanted to produce a time capsule film, detailing a journey through THE FIRST 100 DAYS of the global pandemic. Following the global theme of "we are all in this together", I created a couple of cinematic rules: To be performed by three couples around the world and to be captured inside their own apartments using computers and phone cameras."

The subject matter ranged from domestic violence to gun control. It also raises deep seated questions as to the idea of bringing children into this new reality.
