ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
What began in 1985 as 14 films projected onto a concrete wall for 500 viewers, gave birth to the Chicago Latino Film Festival—which has grown into the International Latino Cultural Center (ILCC), a premiere cultural organization. The ILCC is a pan-Latino, nonprofit, multidisciplinary arts organization dedicated to developing, promoting and increasing awareness of Latino cultures by presenting a wide variety of art forms and education including film, music, dance, visual arts, comedy and theater. Imperative to the ILCC mission is to increase cultural opportunities for the Latino community, as well as, create a cultural dialogue amongst Latinos and non-Latinos to discuss universal cross-cultural experiences.
The Chicago Latino Film Festival is produced by the International Latino Cultural Center in collaboration with Columbia College Chicago.
