The Chicago Latino Film Festival is a nonprofit organization that aims to promote and raise awareness of Latino cultures through various art forms and education. One of their main events is the Chicago Latino Film Festival, which showcases about 100 films from Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, Portugal, and the US. The Festival allows film enthusiasts in Chicago, regardless of their backgrounds, to watch movies they may not have seen otherwise. The movies featured in the Festival include films that have gained global recognition on the festival circuit, box office hits in their countries of origin, and those that have yet to be released in theaters. The Festival initially premiered with 14 films projected onto a concrete wall, drawing an audience of 500 people. Apart from films, the Festival also features music, dance, comedy, theater, and visual arts, making it a comprehensive celebration of Latino culture.
