The organizers of the San Diego Latino Film Festival learned something surprising after going virtual last year: Less really is more.
In its pre-pandemic editions, the 28-year-old festival presented up to 200 films annually, the same number it screened virtually last year. For 2021, the number of films will be halved and will include two drive-in movie nights.
“If you log on to festivals and see so much content that you spend 30 minutes finding a movie, you don’t want to watch anything,” said Moisés Esparza, programming manager of Media Arts Center San Diego, the nonprofit that produces the festival. “It can be overwhelming akin to Netflix. But our films are carefully selected by curators to make it easy for viewers to make choices.”
