San Diego Latino Film Festival Celebrates 33 Years of “Cine Sin Fronteras”

Honoring Latino Stories, Culture, and Creativity Through Film, Music, Art, and Culinary Experiences

For over three decades, the San Diego Latino Film Festival (SDLFF) has served as a vital platform for storytelling, uniting filmmakers, artists, and audiences in a celebration of Latino culture’s richness and diversity. 

As it returns for its 33rd edition from March 18th to March 22nd, 2026, at MACSD’s Digital Gym (1100 Market St, SD, CA 92101), SDLFF continues to connect communities, honor heritage, and inspire future generations.

What began as a small student film festival in 1994 has grown into one of the most respected Latino film festivals in the country, showcasing the best in Chicano, Latinx, and Latin American filmmaking. This year’s lineup features over 100+ films, spanning drama, comedy, documentary, animation, and classic works. Each film offers a unique perspective on identity, family, history, and the ever-evolving Latino experience.

Beyond the screen, SDLFF elevates the festival experience with exclusive, high-caliber cultural events that celebrate Latino artistry in its finest forms. With a dynamic mix of film, music, art, and cuisine, SDLFF is a true celebration of the Latino experience—past, present, and future. We invite you to join us for this unforgettable journey through storytelling, culture, and community.
