Los Angeles Filmforum presents *Cosmic Rage: A Fundraiser for the LA Tenants Union (LATU) & Community Self-Defense Coalition Los Angeles (CSDCLA)*. In person: Jazmin Jazzy Romero, gh0sttaste Full info: https://www.lafilmforum.org/schedule/spring-2026/cosmic-rage/ ~ **COSMIC RAGE** is a program that presents formally subversive explorations of migration, empire, ritual and revolt. Curated in response to recent attacks against immigrant communities, the program asks us to honor the grief and rage within as a creative force that propels oppressed people towards action. These documentary, narrative and experimental works represent various perspectives by Latin-American, Black and immigrant filmmakers, all bursting with visions of rebellion and transformation. Food vendors will be present as well. Curated by Helen Peña. The films will be followed by a live performance with Jazmin Romero and a DJ set by gh0sttaste. All proceeds will go towards supporting immigrant tenants and organizing efforts at LA Tenants Union (LATU) & Community Self-Defense Coalition Los Angeles (CSDCLA). LA Tenants Union (LATU) is an autonomous tenant union organizing tenants fighting gentrification and displacement across LA neighborhoods, and is currently running a mutual aid fund for struggling immigrant members in crisis. https://latenantsunion.org/ Community Self-Defense Coalition Los Angeles (CSDCLA) has been a pillar across LA in organizing defense to support immigrant communities across LA county, and are raising money to support separated families with access to food, medical supplies, legal assistance, housing security and a means to contact their loved ones. @communityselfdefensecoalition Jazmin Jazzy Romero is an artist and musician from Los Angeles, California. Playing with a mix of sound, movement, and material, she develops performance-based worlds where musical thinking becomes a method for story-telling. She engages with musical gesture and physical form to produce scores and compositions that materialize as performances, video, and sculptural assemblages. Her artworks are activated through liveness and collaboration, viewer interpretation, repetition, and variation where meaning is generated through encounter and exchange. She draws from both her formal musical training and embodied, intuitive processes, using composition as a way to translate personal and collective histories into spatial and sonic experiences. She is also a member of various performance and music production collectives, such as COQUETA. https://www.jazminromero.com/
