The mission of the Providence Latin American Film Festival is to bring recently produced films from Latin America and the Spanish-speaking world to Rhode Island. The films presented can be seen nowhere else in the region and the Festival appeals to the local Spanish and Portuguese speaking public as well as critics, news media, and film enthusiasts. The Festival presents additional cultural activities that celebrate the cultural heritage and highlight the contributions of Rhode Island’s growing Latino community. (Sponsored in part by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies.)
