This year, the Latin America & Spain Film Festival (LASFF) in New Zealand reaches its 22nd edition. LASFF is a nonprofit event aiming to bring the Spanish and Latin American culture closer to New Zealanders. Each of the seven participating Embassies, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Mexico, Peru and Spain, provides one recent film produced in its representing country that showcases our culture and way of life.FREE ENTRY
ENGLISH SUBTITLES
We do not only bring this event to the capital city, but to many cities all over the country. This year, we will show the LASFF in another nine cities, Auckland, Christchurch, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Napier, Whanganui, New Plymouth, Blenheim and Wellington. In every case, we cooperate closely with local institutions in the same way as we do with the Wellington City Council in the capital city.
Many public and private institutions sponsor the event and help us to get it done every year. I would like to thank all of them and invite others to join in the future. This is an inclusive event, meant to respect the values and principles shared by the participating countries and New Zealand.
My special thanks to all the local volunteers, which help us to bring the Festival all around New Zealand. Without their generous contribution, we would simply not be able to bring it to you.
This year, the Embassy of Spain has the honor to lead and coordinate this event. However, the seven participating embassies have worked closely and very hard, throughout the year, to organize it and I thank them all.
We hope that this event help us to make our common culture more present in New Zealand and to bring closer New Zealanders and the Latino community.
