We’re excited to feature films this year with stories that make us shine, stories that make us come alive and reconnect with our Latino history, family and friends,” says Arilyn Martinez Cora, Founder and Director of the Latino Film Market. “Latinos are like that, people that enjoy telling stories, happy, sad, special events - always from the heart and with a smile that characterizes our latinidad.”
