WHO WE ARE_
This is so much more than a film festival. The Perth
Independent Latino Film Festival is a delight for all the
senses. Each night you will get to experience the very
best of Latin American film, food, dance, music and
art. It’s a full cultural immersion and you are invited to
participate in all aspects of our exciting program!
With the themes of human rights and migration
threading through the 2018 program, the festival will
explore the most relevant and pressing issues of our
time, telling stories through all forms of art, letting
us see the world through different eyes and experience
culture from different perspectives.
Don’t miss the Short Film Competition which showcases
the best new talent from across the globe, or our new
special events at new venues including a family film
screening and a dancing fiesta at Rooftop!
This year we are also excited to be including an
Educational Program, which will open dialogue and
build connections between story telling projects in
Latin American and Australia.
You can find the full festival program in this magazine as
well as editorials and interviews which provide deeper
insight into the issues explored in the festival and our
amazing contributors.
Be prepared to be surprised, moved and challenged.
