If you’re looking for film with flavor, you’re in luck this week.
The Third Annual International Puerto Rican Heritage Film Festival (IPRHFF) kicks off this Wed., Nov. 13th at Mount Sinai Medical Center’s Hatch Theater and MIST Harlem.
Sponsors include Telemundo 47, NBC-TV, Mount Sinai Medical Center, MIST Harlem, New York Academy of Medicine, and Chivas.
