The competitive festival will also screen the Cuban-Venezuelan film Habana Eva, with script and direction by Fina Torres, and the documentary Operation Peter Pan: Flying back to Cuba, by U.S. filmmaker Estela Bravo.
The festival program's director, Hebe Tabachnik told reporters that the Cuban presence would be a response to the hostile U.S. blockade against Cuba, which hinders free cultural exchange.
More than 200 films from 30 countries will be shown at Hollywood's Egyptian Theater, chiefly from Spain, Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Chile, and Brazil.
The Latino Los Angeles Festival was founded 15 years ago and aims to promote the richness and diversity of Latin Cinema by showcasing films from the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Portugal.
