"Georgia TV & Film Industry is quickly becoming the second home for most of Hollywood’s motion pictures decision makers.  As we strive toward making the Georgia Latino Film Festival one of the premier industry events, we determined that Atlanta is the central location in the southeast for an event like this. We see no better place than Georgia to encourage greater participation, help us attract a multi-cultural audience, provide state-of-the-art facilities, and build stronger alliances with Hollywood film studios," Robertson said. With the mission of redefining, discovering and honoring artistic excellence in Latino Independent cinema, GALFF will provide an unprecedented platform for Latino filmmakers and will attract an annual attendance of more than 500 people.

 

The GLFF will showcase emerging Latino’s independent filmmakers from all over the country.
