18th Latin America & Spain Film Festival - Kapiti

The Latin America & Spain Film Festival (LASFF) returns to Ōtaki! This annual cultural event is dedicated to bringing together Latin America, Spain, and other New Zealand communities through the big screen.

The Festival is run by all the Latin American and Spanish Embassies resident in Wellington along with other Latin American Embassies based in Canberra, Australia. The Festival has become very popular and during the 2017 edition,
approximately 6,000 spectators enjoyed the films.

This year we have 11 participating nations: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Spain, and Uruguay.

The selection includes a wide range of genres, topics, and styles, giving the general public and cinephiles a chance to immerse themselves into the languages – Spanish and Portuguese – as well as the cultural and social aspects of our countries.

Entry is free!
