Toronto Latin American Film Festival 2024

The Best of Latin American Culture Cinema in Toronto

The Toronto Latin American Film Festival, LATAFF 2024, presented by the Hispanic Canadian Heritage Council (HCHC), aims to promote the very best and the most fascinating cinema from Latin America and from Latino Canadian producers, featuring the most recent award wining films. From comedies and dramas to family-oriented movies, these film selections will meet everybody’s expectations on production quality, interesting plots, and entertainment with the uniqueness of Latin American style.
This event is one of the highlights during the Hispanic / Latin American Heritage Month (October) of each year celebrating and sharing the Latin America culture and diversity.

The Hispanic Canadian Heritage Council, HCHC, is a non-profit organization created with the support and collaboration of the three levels of government, in addition to numerous organizations. Its mission is to highlight and promote the contribution of Hispanic / Latin American culture in the evolving fabric of Canadian Heritage.
One of the main activities of the HCHC is the celebration of the Hispanic / Latin American Heritage Month in October of each year, as it had been declared for the Toronto City Council, for the Ontario Legislature and for the Federal Parliament.

The Toronto Latin American Film Festival, LATAFF was launched in 2015 to meet the community’s need for opportunities that could enable them to strengthen their identification with their Latin-American roots, specially second generation of Latino immigrants. However, since then, the growing interest of the general population for the unique perspective of the Latin American film industry, has made this event an exceptional occasion to view some of the most successful movies that has captured the attention of millions of people around the world.

The Toronto Latin American Film Festival 2024 will be screened at the Innis Town Hall Theatre at the University of Toronto (2 Sussex Ave, Toronto, ON M5S 1J5).

The Toronto Latin American Film Festival is an appointment in our city with the very best of Latin American cinema. And is a celebration of our cultural diversity through the great stories told in this selection of movies from the whole Spanish speaking continent.
We are the cultural and artistic thread between Latin American and other background heritage communities who enjoy watching movies and documentaries.

What inspires and moves us most is bringing together cultural diversity, age, religious, political and gender differences through our passionate and unique Latin American perspective on arts and film entertainment.
