The Sydney Latin American Film Festival is a volunteer-run, not for profit organisation, showcasing Latin American film and culture. This year, we're running a special program of cinema events across Sydney, Latin American Cinema and Song, with a view to returning to our traditional format in 2012.
Our philosophy is to donate net monies raised to community programs across Latin America. Last year that included programs in El Salvador, Argentina and Bolivia. This year proceeds of ticket sales will help with the operational costs associated with the festival itself, to make the Festival organisation more sustainable in the long run.
The Community Support Program is one of the drivers behind our unique festival – it motivates and inspires us, as it does for many of our supporters. So we'll be bringing it back next year, bigger and better.
