The San Diego Latino Film Festival is back for another great display of Latino cinema! Now in its 23rd year, the ever-growing festival continues to bring latino films, actors, directors and producers to town. This year the festival is much more than simple a film showcase; Sonido Latino will be playing live shows in front of the theater, there will also be a fashion show, a culinary festival and much more happening during the festival. There is something happening for everyone at one of the hottest events in San Diego!
Be sure to buy your tickets ahead of time and arrive early to your films. Directors and actors will be holding Q&A sessions before films and you know the theatres will get packed, especially for the fest’s featured films.
Opening night is happening on Thursday, March 10. Check out the list of opening night films at: http://prod3.agileticketing.net/
