2011 NC Latin American Film Festival. Nov 2- 19 in North Carolina

n November 2011, the North Carolina Latin American Film Festival marks its 25th anniversary. Founded in 1986, the North Carolina Latin American Film Festival celebrates the power and artistry of Latin America's film and audiovisual production.
This year the festival will feature a series focused on one of the most pressing contemporary challenges facing the region: narco-trafficking and the related themes of violence, corruption, in/justice, and migration. The festival will look at the hemispheric context of these realities using films, documentaries, art exhibits, oral histories, panel discussions, lectures, and open forums, with a special focus on Mexico. Our goal is to create discussion and understanding of this sensitive issue while examining how Latin Americans are responding.
