TTU INTERNATIONAL FILM SERIES PRESENTS CHEECH MARIN'S COMEDY BORN IN EAST LA
On Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. the TTU International Film Series, in partnership with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, presents Cheech Marin’s 1987 comedy Born in East L.A. The screening precedes Marin's visit at Texas Tech University on Oct. 3 as part of the Presidential Lecture and Performance Series.

Born in East L.A. was honored for Best Production Design & Best Screenplay at the 1987 Havana International Film Festival and examines how stereotypes can mistakenly change one's life. Marin wrote, directed and starred in the film, and IFS is proud to feature his work in anticipation of his visit to TTU.

The screening will take place at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, located at 120 West Loop 289, Lubbock.

Reserved seats, available through the Alamo Drafthouse website, are $5 and can be exchanged for $5 food/beverage vouchers good for use inside the Alamo auditoriums.
 

About International Film Series
: Our mission is to provide the Texas Tech University campus and the Lubbock community with regular screenings of international and independent cinema. Our screenings are paired with speakers, panels or roundtables that offer the opportunity to discuss issues raised by the films themselves. Moreover, we wish to provide logistical and material support to members of the campus community who wish to bring to campus films that meet the goals of the series. The International Film Series is sponsored by the Texas Tech Cross-Cultural Academic Advancement Center, Department of Journalism and Electronic Media, and the Thomas Jay Harris Institute for Hispanic and International Communication.

Become a part of the global community. Experience international cinema.
