The Long Island Latino International Film Festival was created to celebrate and showcase the finest in Latino filmmaking. Now in our 5th year LILIFF continues to build its reputation by presenting exceptional works by or about Latinos.

Some of the other films selected in this year’s festival include “A Class Apart” the latest documentary by Carlos Sandoval producer of the Sundance winner “Farmingville”. Our feature films will be offered in a wide range of genres that include the horror film “Sacred Game” by Bernardo Chilindron, an animation film “The Secret Life of Coins” and rounding out the festival is the family drama “Willets Point.”

LILIFF is committed to bringing compelling films with powerful storytelling to Long Island , which is home to over 350,000 Hispanics and growing. Our participating filmmakers will receive VIP all access passes to screenings, special events and after parties and are encouraged to participate in Q&A sessions following the screening of their film.
