LASFF is an annual non-profit event which aims to bring together Latin American, Spanish and other New Zealand communities through the big screen.

LASFF has continued to promote new partnerships with art centres and academic institutions around the country, making it possible for the screenings to remain free of charge and therefore more accessible to the wider community. A larger number of people will enjoy a selection of films and a variety of themes and will get a deeper experience of the Latin American and Spanish cultures.
