The Sydney Latin American Film Festival aims to inspire, educate and entertain Sydney audiences with feature films, documentaries and shorts from and about the Latin American region, while raising funds and awareness for a number of vital community projects through our Community Support Program. This program recognises and financially supports the ongoing work of social justice, environmental conservation and community development organisations across Latin America and here in Australia.

Cine Barrio (Neighbourhood Cinema) is a program devised by SLAFF to present Latino film screenings and discussion at free and accessible venues in collaboration with various community groups & educational institutions across Sydney. In this way, SLAFF aims to ensure that the needs of the local community are being met by making these cultural events financially, geographically and socially accessible. We would like to acknowledge the support of the City of Sydney in the Cine Barrio Project.
The Festival presents all year round screenings at community centers and other easy accessible venues in both the City of Sydney and Western Sydney. At these fun & engaging evenings, the Festival screens a selection of films that have been shown at our previous Festivals for a small contribution of only $5-$8.
The Festival is driven by the hard work of a dedicated and passionate group of volunteers working year round and during the Festival itself to put on this amazing event.
Opportunities exist for you to volunteer at the Festival. To register your interest please email us
