Hispanic Heritage Film Festival

10/10/2026

MADE IN MIAMI. MADE FOR THE BIG SCREEN. 🌴🎬

Miami isn’t just where we host our festival. It’s where so many of our stories begin.

From Cuban cafecitos and familiar neighborhoods to stories of immigration, identity, family, and belonging, Miami has a voice unlike anywhere else. And this year, we’re proud to celebrate the filmmakers bringing that voice to the big screen.

At the 2026 Hispanic Heritage Film Festival, we’re shining a spotlight on films with strong connections to our city, including award-winning productions, emerging local talent, and stories that reflect the many cultures that make Miami home.

Because supporting Hispanic and Latino cinema also means supporting the incredible filmmakers creating right here in our own backyard. ❤️

🎟️ Come celebrate Miami cinema with us!

🗓️ October 9–11, 2026
📍 Koubek Center | Miami, FL
