The film industry in Latin America is rapidly evolving to a world-class level. Increasingly, works from this region are not only finding their way to the world's most prestigious festivals, but garnering top critical recognition as well. The same can be said for U.S.-based Latinx projects. This festival, designed to cast a spotlight on the emerging Latino film industry features works by up and coming and well-established filmmakers from the area and seeks to build professional and artistic exchanges between Latin America and the Hollywood film world.
