Media Arts Center San Diego’s San Diego Latino Film Festival was established 27 years ago initially as a student film festival (Cine Estudantil) focusing on works by Latinos and/or about the Latino Experience. Since that time, the San Diego Latino Film Festival has developed into one of the larger and well-respected Latino film festivals in the world. Over 325,000 people have attended during the past 27 years and over 3,880 films/videos from across Latin America and the United States have been screened.
