This year the Festival is launching its Film & Video component with the screening of three thematically distinct nights. We begin Friday, September 2 with the screening of works by 8 Latin American artists, curated by our partner organization Alucine Latino Media Festival.

On Sunday, September 3 we revisit the recent history of the Chilean community with a documentary of the struggle against the military dictatorship during the '80s. On Tuesday, September 6 we explore the present social issues of Latin American immigration to the north.


All screenings take place at The Alley Theatre: 12 Ossington Ave. (Ossington & Queen)
