About the Chicago Latino Film Festival

Welcome to the 29th Chicago Latino Film Festival, running from April 13-27, 2013!

The CLFF is produced every April by the International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago (ILCC), a pan-Latino, nonprofit, multidisciplinary arts organization dedicated to developing, promoting and increasing awareness of Latino culture among Latinos and other communities by presenting a wide variety of art forms. During the festival, films from all of Latin America, Brazil, Spain and Portugal are screened throughout the city.*

We hope you enjoy watching independent and international films, because we have an incredible lineup for you. This year, we also have a bevy of events beyond film screenings, so make sure to check out our schedule for the latest special events and programming.
