We exist to disrupt the passive consumption of films - we make Latin American stories unavoidable. We turn overlooked voices into headlines, challenge audiences with perspectives they didn’t know they needed.
The first London Latino Film Festival (LoLaFF) closed on 6 October with an awards ceremony at Ciné Lumière in South Kensington, celebrating eight winning films and the filmmakers behind them.
Over five days, the festival brought 60 films from more than 25 countries to venues across London, with screenings, masterclasses, Q&As and social events – many of them sold out. The winning films reflect the breadth of contemporary Latin American cinema, with stories about migration, identity, Indigenous communities, climate and LGBTQ+ experiences.
With gratitude,
Ketty Rodriguez, Founder & Creative Director, and Javier Torres, Chairman & CEO
London Latino Film Festival (LoLaFF)
Our mission is to celebrate the power of Latin cinema. Honouring the legends who shaped it and the trailblazers redefining it. In London, we’re building cultural bridges and championing fearless new filmmakers who bring the pulse and passion of Latin America to the big screen.
