We at LASFF believe the Latin America and Spain Film Festival is an opportunity to expand our horizons as we learn a lot from each other’s culture, and also from the differences in our languages, dialects, and slangs. That’s one more reason why we are proud to have Wellington Spanish Hub as a sponsor, as they work in the mission of expanding horizons by teaching languages.

Thank you for helping us connect more and more. 🌍
