NYILFF is still the best investment in the Hispanic/Urban space.”

“Cinema has become global and few other film festivals, Latino or not, represent the breadth and width of our programming at NYILFF,” says Calixto Chinchilla, Co-Executive Director and Programmer. “Not to mention, the attendance of stars from Hollywood, Latin America and Europe that make NYILFF the memorable experience it is.”

“We commend the NYILFF for continuing to raise the profile of Latinos in film by showcasing some of the most pre-eminent projects from around the world,” said Lucinda Martinez-Desir, vice president, Acquisition & Multicultural Marketing at HBO. “They have established a foundation for Latino and Urban films and filmmakers that is unsurpassed to this day.”
