GLAFF (GuadaLAjara Film Festival) has been running since 2010 as a boutique platform dedicated to Latin American, Latinx, and BIPOC filmmakers. We discover, support, and uplift new voices while showcasing established talent from the U.S. and Latin America. As a non-profit, we’re committed to giving back to the community.
This year we’re celebrating the 16th edition of the festival.
