1st Sydney Latin American Film Festival - Feb 06

17-19 February: Campbelltown Arts Centre, Art Gallery Rd Cnr Camden & Appin Rd Campbelltown
24-26 February: Tom Mann Theatre, 136 Chalmers St, Surry Hills

"From the edgy underbelly of Brazil’s Lower City, the cultural and environmental preservation issues explored in our Focus on Amazon series, to the vibrant musical delights of Cuba’s La Tropical; be inspired by a new breed of talented and socially aware filmmakers.

We very proudly present Cuban filmmaker Juan Carlos Cremata Malberti as guest of the festival, to showcase his films Viva Cuba and Nada+. Australian documentary filmmaker David Bradbury will also join us in a Q&A session following the premiere screening of his new documentary Raul the Terrible. Inspiring stories of love and resilience are fertile across the Latin American continent and with many thanks to all the Filmmakers and supporters of the festival we have been able to create a home for them in Sydney."
