\n“We owe our success to the unwavering support of our community,” says Maria Paula Lorgia, newly appointed Artistic Director of the San Diego Latino Film Festival. “As we embark on our 31st year, I am thrilled to bring my fresh vision and passion to this esteemed event. Here’s to another year of sharing stories, challenging stereotypes, and inspiring audiences.”

With a focused selection of 57 features and 79 shorts, SDLFF aims to reconnect with young voices and contemporary perspectives, offering a diverse array of narratives that reflect the rich tapestry of the Latino experience.
\nIn addition to celebrating Chicano Cinema, SDLFF is proud to host a diverse lineup<\/a> of industry figures, both legendary and emerging, representing a breadth of talent and perspectives. Joining us as esteemed guests are actor\/comedian\/director Cheech Marin, border rock legend Javier Batiz and Sal Lopez, Oscar nominee Adriana Barraza, and Mexico’s film and TV star Osvaldo Benvides. We are also excited to welcome new voices to the festival, including authors\/directors Itandehui Jansen, Natalia Bermudez, and Carla Gutierrez, known for her work on the acclaimed film “Frida.” This inclusive lineup reflects our commitment to gender equality and showcasing the evolving landscape of Latino cinema.
\nRecognizing the remarkable contributions of Argentine cinema, the festival proudly presents a special selection of 10 award-winning films from the country. This editorial and political decision underscores SDLFF’s commitment to supporting Latin American cinema and amplifying voices from across the region. Also, adding to the excitement, SDLFF introduces three new sections: Raices, Emerging Voices, and an Animation Section, providing even more opportunities for discovery and engagement.
\nOnce again this year, SDLFF attendees can also enjoy live music, sample top-rated local cuisine, and explore a curated Arte Latino market (“Mercado”), featuring unique collections from local Latino artists and vendors. This immersive experience<\/a> promises to enhance the festival atmosphere and create lasting memories for all who attend.
