The 29th Annual Chicago Latino Film Festival (CLFF) came to a close last week with a science-fiction comedy called The Man From the Future and a Brazilian-themed afterparty at the Rivers East Arts Center.

This year there was a historic Mexican and Jewish partnership to promote cultural exchange, along with a “Women In Film” portion to support the growing Latina community’s contributions.

There were more than 100 films to see this year at the CLFF, and the LGBT community was well-represented with Bolero at Night from Peru and Porcelain Horse from Ecuador, among others.

The festival ran April 11-25. Stay tuned to www.LatinoCulturalCenter.org for next year. Photos and text by Jerry Nunn
