Ethan Thillo Latino Quotations

This festival enjoys the largest selection of films produced or distributed by Hollywood studios than we have ever had before. It shows the importance of having Latino filmmakers working in the mainstream.

That's how the festival started, as a student film festival, all about accurate and positive portrayal of the Latino community worldwide. Those core values are still very much part of the festival today.

I wouldn't say we're the most important Latino film festival in the country, but we have improved our quality year after year.

There are more Latino movies, made by Latino filmmakers and more people interested in Latino cinema.

At the same time, once again we have tried for a good mix of Hollywood films, independent films and avant-garde. Ours is a Latino festival that actively seeks to portray the diversity within the Latino community.
