JOIN US FOR A FREE 5-DAY CELEBRATION OF THE LATINO CULTURE THROUGH MOVIES, ARTS, MUSIC, AND GOOD FOOD!

Latino Center of Iowa, in partnership with the Chicago Latino Film Festival, has created Iowa’s first Latino film festival celebrating the rich cultural diversity of the Des Moines community through food, art, music, and performances featuring films from Latin America and Spain and showcasing the work of local Latin filmmakers.

Diversity, equity and inclusion is paramount and art must be accessible to all people in our community. It is important for Iowa to retain our young people, and offering a vibrant cultural scene is key to making our communities an attractive place to live.

Attendance to this 5-day festival is free to all, and to do this we are relying on the partnership, generosity and support of our sponsors.
