A unique festival that presents short films and short plays to celebrate and showcase the Latinx community, it's artist, and it's stories. Short films and short plays are seldom seen by the general public, but even more rare is seeing Latinx artists on the big screen or the stage.

All film genres are eligible. DANCE short films are welcome!

Additionally, in our commitment to better serve our Latinx comunidad and familias, we encourage you to submit your short films for CHILDREN AND YOUNG AUDIENCES (Ages 5-12) as well.

Submit your short films and be part of a multidisciplinary experience never seen before!
