ELPL is proud to partner with the MSU Latinx Film Festival to present a screening of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
In the 2018 "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse", teen Miles Morales becomes the Spider-Man of his universe and must join with spider-powered individuals from other dimensions to stop a threat for all realities.
In this 2023 sequel, "Across the Spider-Verse," Miles explores the multiverse himself, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its existence. When they clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles must decide for himself what it means to be a hero.
"Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" is rated PG for sequences of animated action violence, some language and thematic elements.

The MSU Latinx Film Festival (LxFF) is a biennial, curated film festival that serves the Great Lake State of Michigan with a special focus on the Latino/a/x communities of Michigan State University, the greater Lansing area, and the mid-Michigan region.
The mission of the MSU Latinx Film Festival is to create a space for the celebration and promotion of independent latinx cinema, which they conceive of inclusively as Spanish, English and Portuguese language films from Latin America, Spain and the United States. They promote films that are not readily available in the U.S. that challenge audiences to see the world differently.
They seek to celebrate latinx filmmaking and inspire public debates and private reflection about the social, cultural and political questions raised by latinx cinema through post-screening discussions, director Q&As and special events, in addition to producing the space in which informal, spontaneous and transformative interactions can organically take place.
