The San Francisco Latino Film Festival is celebrating its 10th year anniversary. Befitting such a milestone, its 2018 program exemplifies what’s made Cine+Más’s mission so crucial in its first decade. As they put it, “Our goal is to showcase films by, about, or made with Latinos to shine a light on inclusion. Films are presented to illuminate our innovative and influential Bay Area audiences with foreign film as a way to celebrate culture and get educated about what’s happening in our world.”
Scouring the Americas for some great films — about famed singers from Panama, queer psychedelic trips in Cuba, Chicano heroes in New Mexico, even ayahuasca chants in the Amazon — the festival has assembled a wonderfully diverse slate. Add in the fact that they’ve curated them into separate banners like “LGBT,” “Love & Things,” “Women in Film” and “Stay Woke” alongside some great short films, and you have yourself a fest that San Fran moviegoers can’t afford to miss.
