SAN DIEGO For the last 28 years, the San Diego Latino Film Festival has been bringing the voices of film directors from across Latin America, to the silver screen here in San Diego. Last year the festival had to be canceled but was able to put on a virtual event in September.
“With the live stream experience we had the ability to bring in filmmakers that otherwise we wouldn’t be able to,” says Ethan Van Thillo, the founder of the San Diego Latino Film Festival. “We were connecting with filmmakers in Europe, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico.”
